Siebel Pricing: Aggregate Volume Discount article was much appreciated by readers. A reader has problem in enabling Tiered Volume Discount for an order having multiple order line items of same product . Lets look in to complete query and its resolution suggested by us.

We often come across Buy One Get One (BOGO) offers these days like Buy toothpaste and get Toothbrush free or Buy 5 soaps and get 10 % off or Buy 2 kg sugar and get ½ kg free etc etc . To configure something like this in siebel we can go for the Aggregate Discounts.

This article cover the essential tasks that you must perform to create a simple product and make it visible to users. I was trying to  preapare  a hand note on basic steps involved in simple product creation.Lets see how much it help you.
Creating a Product Record 
You enter products into the Siebel system by creating product records. The product record contains the product name and important information about the product, such as its product line name or part number.

Aggregate Volume Discount
We have seen in the Volume Discount article that this type of discount works line item by line item. with some customers this could be a debate and some would prefer to change this behaviour:
Volume Discount should be calculated based on all instances of the same product (Quantity aggregation).
Fortunately the PSP architecture shipped with Siebel 7.8 and above introduces a new pricing engine. Since price calculations are done in Workflows and Business Services, we can change them.

Volume Discount
Volume Discount is probably the easier discount to understand and to implement.The idea is to give a discount if you buy more of the same product. Example:

If you buy 4 products ABC, you get 3%
If you buy 5 products ABC, you get 3.5%
If you buy more than 6 products ABC, you get 4%

You add product ABC to the Quote/Order, you update the Qty field to a value of 4 or greater and you will see your volume discount applied.
