Promotional Good Modifier Scenario

An Oracle White Paper September 2018

Executive Summary

The purpose of this document is to demonstrate a method using the SQL Built-In Functions within a custom
pricing attribute to achieve the desired functionality on a promotional goods modifier. Promotional goods
modifiers add a new item with a price adjustment or benefit when the customer orders one or more other
items on the same order. An example for a promotional good would be Buy a Pair of Shoes and get another
50% off or buy 1 Laptop and get a free extra battery. This document is designed to supplement the existing User
and Implementation Guides for Oracle Advanced Pricing 11.5.10 and Release 12.
