Case Study & Technical Analysis: QP Customer Pricing Engine Request Report

Executive Summary

The QP Customer Pricing Engine Request report is a highly sophisticated pricing simulation and margin analysis tool within Oracle Advanced Pricing (QP). It enables users to simulate the Oracle Pricing Engine’s behavior to determine item selling prices for specific customers across various price lists, and then calculate the potential margin by comparing against item costs. This report is indispensable for sales managers, pricing analysts, and financial controllers to understand complex pricing structures, analyze customer-specific pricing, evaluate profitability, and make informed strategic decisions regarding sales pricing and promotions.

Business Challenge

Oracle Advanced Pricing is a powerful module, but its complexity makes it challenging to understand how the pricing engine derives a final selling price, especially with multiple price lists, modifiers, discounts, and customer-specific agreements. Organizations face significant challenges:

The Solution

This report provides a powerful, configurable, and detailed simulation of the Oracle Pricing Engine, transforming how organizations analyze and manage their sales pricing.

Technical Architecture (High Level)

The report leverages Oracle’s Advanced Pricing engine (QP) by initiating a pricing request and then extracting the detailed results. It integrates data from various pricing, inventory, and customer tables.

Parameters & Filtering

The report offers an extensive and critical set of parameters for precise pricing simulation and analysis:

Performance & Optimization

As a report that interacts with the complex Oracle Pricing Engine, its performance is highly dependent on effective parameter usage.

FAQ

1. What is the Oracle Pricing Engine and why is this report valuable for it? The Oracle Pricing Engine is a complex rules engine that determines the final price of an item based on various factors like price lists, modifiers (discounts, surcharges), customer attributes, and order qualifiers. This report is valuable because it demystifies the engine’s logic, showing how a price was derived, which is critical for troubleshooting, auditing, and understanding complex pricing structures.

2. How does the ‘Expand Price Breaks’ parameter help in margin analysis? Price breaks define different unit prices based on the quantity purchased (e.g., $10 for 1-10 units, $8 for 11-50 units). When Expand Price Breaks is ‘Yes’, the report will show separate lines for each price break, indicating how the unit selling price and margin would vary at different quantities. This is crucial for evaluating profitability across different order sizes.

3. Can this report help troubleshoot why a specific discount or promotion isn’t applying? Yes, in Detail Mode, the report explicitly lists the Modifier Lines that were applied by the pricing engine. If an expected discount is missing, you can examine the Pricing Attribute Record Type and Qualifier Attribute Record Type sections for that item/customer to see what attributes were considered and why the modifier might not have qualified.

Oracle E-Business Suite Reporting Library

We provide an open source Oracle EBS SQLs as a part of operational and project implementation support toolkits for rapid Excel reports generation.

Blitz Report™ is based on Oracle EBS forms technology, and hence requires minimal training. There are no data or performance limitations since the output files are created directly from the database without going through intermediate file formats such as XML.

Blitz Report can be used as BI Publisher and Oracle Discoverer replacement tool. Standard Oracle BI Publisher and Discoverer reports can also be imported into Blitz Report for immediate output to Excel. Typically, reports can be created and version tracked within hours instead of days. The concurrent request output automatically opens upon completion without the need for re-formatting.

The Filters, Columns, Rows and Values fields are used to create and deliver the data in pivot table format with full drill down to details.

Blitz Report Pivots

The Excel template upload functionality in Blitz Report allows users to create their own layouts by uploading an Excel template with additional sheets and charts, automatically refreshed when the report runs again. This allows to create custom dashboards and more advanced visualizations of report data.
