Calculate Price Flag in Oracle Order Management

 Calculate Price in Oracle Order Management

The Calculate Price flag allows the calling application to fully or partially freeze the price on a pricing request line. Price may be completely frozen with no additional modifiers applied, or additional modifiers may be applied in certain phases, depending on the value of the flag. Possible values are as follows:

Flag Value	Action
Y (calculate price)	Applies all prices and modifiers to the request line.
N (freeze price)	Does not apply any prices or modifiers to the request line.
P (partial price)	Only applies prices or modifiers in certain phases.

When the calculate price flag is set to partial price, the search engine observes the freeze override flag on the phase. 

When the calculate price flag is set to yes the search engine applies eligible modifiers in the phase to the request line. 

When the calculate price flag is set to no the modifiers in the phase are not considered for application to the request line. 

Additional Details : 

Calculate Price Flag: Calculate Price: Use the pricing engine to determine price. Calculate price and freight charges at the time of pricing. 

Freeze Price: Never use the pricing engine to determine price. Do not calculate price or freight charges. 

Partial Price: Use the pricing engine to determine price. Calculates only freight charges at the time of pricing.

If you split an order line into multiple lines and want to retain the original price on both the original line and new lines, change your Calculate Price Flag to either Freeze Price or Partial Price before initiating a user split.

The following table shows the value of the Calculate Price Flag before and after a user or system initiated split.

Calculate Price Flag before and after a User or System-initiated Split

Calculate Price Flag	Original Line before split: Calculate Price	Original line before split: Partial Price	Original line before split: Freeze Price
Original line after user initiated split	Calculate Price	Partial Price	Freeze Price
New line after user initiated split	Calculate Price	Partial Price	Freeze Price
Original line after system initiated split	Partial Price	Partial Price	Freeze Price
New line after system initiated split	Freeze Price	Freeze Price	Freeze Price
