  1. Integration Between Purchasing and Advanced Pricing in Oracle Applications Release 11.5.10 Tina Mitchell & Arwen Hawes BIAS Corporation July 20th, 2007

  2. Overview • Purchasing Professionals can now define complex pricing structures using the functionality available with Oracle Advanced Pricing • New integration between Advanced Pricing and Purchasing • New Controls Reduce Manual Keying of Prices on Requisitions and Purchase Orders • Automates and controls pricing • Manages time sensitive promotions

  3. Problems in Purchasing Prior to Integration Between the two Applications • Difficult to manage purchasing prices based on attributes of the item being purchased • Difficult to manage price breaks • Difficult to manage time sensitive promotions

  4. Case Study • Jenny’s Pancake Emporium purchases maple syrup from Vermont Syrup Company. • Different volumes have different prices • Different grades have different prices • Purchasing agents are manually tracking the supplier prices due to the complex pricing. • Due to variety of reasons, the price on the purchase order could be incorrect. • The Accounts Payable group has recurring issues with invoice discrepancies between the purchase order and the invoice.

  5. Cost Lost Per Transaction • Potential to lose volume discounts in Purchasing. • Potential to have incorrect cost of goods in the warehouse and in fixed assets. • Potential Increase in Cost Per Transaction to remediate the issue - Inventory, Purchasing, Payables, Fixed Assets, etc.

  6. Terminology • Purchase Order Type: Standard, Contract, Blanket. • A Contract Purchase Agreement is an agreement of specific terms and conditions without indicating the goods and services that you will be purchasing. Standard purchase orders are created, referencing the contract purchase agreement.

  7. Terminology, cont… • A Price Listis a list of prices from a particular supplier for an individual item or item category. Prices can be stored by: - unit price - percentage price - formulaic price - price break • A Modifieris an Oracle specific term used in pricing. Modifiers alter the price of an item. They can discount or increase the price. • A Pricing Attribute is a property of an item that is used in the derivation of a price. It could be any range of characteristics that are documented within Oracle.

  8. Basic Set Ups Required • Profile Options • Item and/or Purchasing Category • Contract Agreement Optional • Price List • Modifier • Approved Supplier

  9. Demonstrations • Price changes when the purchasing contract is referenced • Price changes when different volumes are ordered • Price changes when different grades are ordered • Price is ‘Modified’ when specific grade is purchased, regardless of volume

  10. Implementation Considerations • Integration is limited to single line discounts and surcharges. • Integration limited to Requisitions and Standard Purchase Orders (referencing a Contract Purchasing Agreement). • Release 12 introduces integration with blanket purchase agreements.

  11. Conclusion Integration between Purchasing and the Advanced Pricing module: • Provides buyers with the ability to develop and maintain complex pricing structures. • Provides buyers with a more effective tool to manage multiple pricing programs, from simplistic to complex. • Provides historical pricing history. • Reduces matching errors due to inconsistent pricing. • Provides requesters and their approvers with accurate pricing information. • Leverages a flexible rules based engine to automate the pricing process
