This is mostly a problem for your billing system, not Siebel.
If you use Oracle BRM and Siebel CRM, you could use Time-Based Offering which allow you to define a discount for limited period of time, with or without the use of Siebel Promotions.
They are multiple ways to achieve wat you want, but generally speaking the best approach is to use a discount product, specify the start/end date of the product and send it to the billing system.
most telco/utility companies work like this.

Hi Guys
I have a requirement where we would like to put on the Order level the following:
Contract period = 24 months
Product with same solution is priced at $10.00 for 12 months and thereafter the same product and solution will then be priced at $20.
How do I go about doing this?

Hi Suresh,
Please use forum for queries.

Hi,
We are getting error at Siebel 8.1 end when trying to add a product at Order Line Item which says – SBL-DAT-00398: Field ‘Pricing Commit Type’ does not exist in definition for business component ‘Price List Item’ .

We found that this field was not there in variable map – Default Pricing Eligibility Variable Map – Row Set – Basic and added the field. But still inspite of that we are facing the same issue. We tried it with simply enabling dynamic pricing at Admin – Pricing but that also couldn’t help.
Also, its Siebel 8.1.1.1 with patch QF1102 applied as mentioned by Oracle
If any on faced similar kind of isues and throws some light on the same is highly appreciated

you should use attribute based pricing.
you prepare you discount and add the discount amount
in the attribute based pricing matrix.
the advantage is that it’s vanilla, not config at all.

the drawback is that you have to load a matrix of
all possible> combination:
if attribute A = abc
if attribute B = def
if attribute C = ghi
price override = 50.4

and you load this with all possible
values.of course attributes must all be based on
“LOV”.
to make things simplier you could prepare everything
in a spreasheet and> load them via EIM.

Hi,

Looking for help related to Dynamic Pricer in Siebel 7.8

We are trying to use Dynamic Pricer for our Packaged solutions. In this, we would like to leverage the functionality where there could be multiple levels of discount for a product/service based on different attributes. E.g, a product/service can have a 10% discount for Attribute A, 20% dicount for Attribute B, 30% dicount for Attribute C. So if the price of that product/Service is $100 then discount should be like

100*0.9*0.8*0.7 = $ 50.40

Whereas the way Siebel is calculating is

Total Discount = 60%(1-10/100 – 20/100 – 30/100)
Price = 100*0.4 = $40

Similarly there could be a case where discount is being given 50% 3 times based on the discounted amount but Siebel would display negative price.

Any help would be really appreciated!!

Thanks,
Vikas
