For many pricing features, Oracle Advanced Pricing provides an HTML-based user interface (UI) that features guided steps and user-friendly pages for setting up and maintaining modifiers, price lists, and qualifiers. You can use the HTML UI to complete many of the pricing tasks that were previously available only in the Oracle Forms-based interface.

To access the HTML UI, select the Oracle Pricing User responsibility and click the Home link to display the Oracle Advanced Pricing Home page.

The following examples compare the HTML UI and Forms-based UI used in Oracle Advanced Pricing. The first example shows an Oracle Advanced Pricing HTML page used to create a price list.

The second example shows an Oracle Advanced Pricing Forms-based window used to create a price list.

You can use the HTML UI to complete the following common pricing tasks:

• Create price lists, price list lines, and price break lines for price lists.

• Create the following modifier list types:

  • Deal List

  • Discount List

  • Promotional Goods

  • Surcharge List

• Create the following modifier line types:

  • Discount

  • Surcharge

  • Price Break

  • Promotional Goods

• Maintain price lists in the Price List Maintenance feature.

• Create qualifiers for price lists and modifiers.

• Search for price lists and modifiers.

Pricing entities such as price lists, modifiers, or qualifiers created in one format, such as the HTML UI, can be maintained in the other. For example, if you created a price list in the Forms-based UI, you could update and maintain that price list in the HTML UI.

For features unavailable in HTML, you can still use the Forms-based UI to set up and maintain pricing functions and features, as in previous releases. If an entity cannot be created in HTML, for example, qualifier groups, then you must use the Forms-based UI for these tasks.
