Oracle Advanced Pricing provides an HTML-based user interface (UI) that features guided steps, user-friendly pages, and shortcut links for setting up and maintaining modifiers, price lists, and qualifiers.
You can use the HTML UI to complete many of the pricing tasks that you previously completed using the Oracle Forms-based UI, such as:
Searching for modifier lists and modifier lines.
Creating modifier lists for the following modifier types only: Deal, Discount List, Promotion, or Surcharge List.
Note: You must use the Oracle Forms-based UI to create a Freight and Special Charge list.
Creating the following modifier line types:
Note: You must use the Oracle Forms-based UI to create all other modifier line types.
Discount
Surcharge
Price Break Header
Promotional Goods
Updating a modifier.
Oracle Advanced Pricing provides the Oracle Forms-based interface for features and tasks currently unavailable in the HTML format, such as creating qualifier groups.
Note: Pricing security can affect the View and Maintain features associated with the Update and Details icons in the HTML UI. For more information, see Oracle Advanced Pricing Implementation Guide, Pricing Security.
Pricing security settings affect the Update and Details icons for price lists and modifiers in the HTML UI in the following ways:
When Pricing Security is Off
For a modifier or price list, if the PTE and source system are the same as those set in the user's profile options, QP: Pricing Transaction Entity and QP: Source System Code, then the Update icon will be enabled and the Details icon will be disabled.
For a modifier or price list, if the PTE and source system are different from those set in the user's profile options, QP: Pricing Transaction Entity and QP: Source System Code, the Update icon will be disabled and the Details icon will be enabled.
When the source systems are different (and the PTE is the same as in the QP: Pricing Transaction Entity profile option), you can view only the price lists and modifiers for the PTE specified in the profile option.
When Pricing Security is On
For a modifier or price list with Maintain and View privileges, if the PTE and source system are the same as those in the user's profile options, QP: Pricing Transaction Entity and QP: Source System Code, then the Update icon will be enabled and the Details icon will be disabled.
For a modifier or price list with Maintain and View privileges, if the PTE and source systems are different from those in the user's profile options, QP: Pricing Transaction Entity and QP: Source System Code, then the Update icon will be disabled and the Details icon will be enabled. This condition occurs when the same PTE is defined for both the user's profile option, QP: Pricing Transaction Entity, and the modifier or price list, but the source systems are different. The behavior is the same in the forms-based UI.
If the modifier or price list has View-privileges only, the Update icon will be disabled and the Details icon will be enabled, regardless of the PTE and source system for which the modifier or price list belongs.
