Adding Details to a Price List Item
- Go to the Price Lists page (ADMIN SETUP > Pricing Administration > Price Lists).
- Click a price list name link to open the Price List Details page.
- Click the Price List Items tab.
- Click the advanced setup icon (
) next to a price list item name. The price list item details page is displayed.
Select the Details tab and enter the following details:
Field Description DETAILS Charge Type Select a charge type. These are a separate, identifiable element of charges that can be used for pricing. For example: Standard Price, Maintenance Fee, Installation Fee, and more. Active Turn the setting on to make the price list item active. Charge Type Criteria Configure charge type criteria.
This is used for conditional charge types that are included only if a certain criterion is met and as part of adding the main product to the cart. Define this criterion against a Line Item or Attribute field value to apply the price list item when the criterion is satisfied. For example, this may be a charge type based on workstations, while the product may have a charge type based on users.
A product must have at least one price list item without any charge type criteria to be priced in the cart.
If you are using the Charge Type Criteria setting, you must define a criterion for all PLIs (Price List Item)s. Do not define that same criterion for more than one PLI. Criteria must be mutually exclusive so that CPQ does not apply two PLIs while pricing a product.
List Price Enter a list price for a product in the price list item. If the price list item has matrices or may be overridden, enter 0
or null as the list price.Cost Enter the product's cost.
Effective Date Enter an effective date for the price list item. Expiration Date Enter an expiry date for the price list item. Price Type Select One Time, Recurring, or Usage. Selecting Recurring or Usage enables the Frequency field. For instance, to add a subscription product, choose Recurring as the type and then specify the frequency as monthly, yearly, and so on.
Price Method Select one of:
- Per Unit: Multiplies the price by the quantity.
- Flat Price: Applies a flat price.
- Percentage: Enables the Percent, Percent Applies To, and Related Price List Item fields.
- Related Price: Used when the price is calculated as a function of the price of other lines in the same shopping cart.
Tiered Rate: Default price method for the Usage price type.
If you selected Usage in the Price Type field, select Tiered Rate here. CPQ does not prevent you from creating other combinations, but you might not get appropriate results.
Frequency If your Price Type field selection is Recurring or Usage, select an option to indicate how often the product shall be charged. Filter Expression This field appears when you select Price Method as Related Pricing.
