- Fetch Base List Price
- Apply Attribute Adjustments
Procedure
- In the CSM Configurable Workspace, select the List
view.
Navigate to Pricing > Pricing Plans.
Select the configurable pricing plan to which steps are being added or changed.
In the pricing plan, select the Pricing Plan Steps tab.

| Calculation type | Option for evaluating the result of the adjustment at each step. Select one of the following:- Previous price point: When the Price Point is Net Price, the previous price point is List Price. The adjustment is applied to the List Price. - Rolling: When multiple adjustments exist, apply the subsequent adjustment to the price resulting from the previous adjustment to calculate the final net price. |
| Sequence | Number value indicating the order in which the step is to be applied.For example, if you're adding a step between two existing steps with sequence numbers 40 and 50 respectively, you could enter the sequence number 45 for the step. |

| Rule matrix | Option that displays if you selected the Apply Matrix Adjustments action. Select the pricing matrix to be applied:- Configuration Component Price Adjustment Matrix: Use this matrix to set the price adjustments for child product offerings that are bundled under a parent product offering. - Standard Price Adjustment Matrix: Use this matrix to set a pricing adjustment for a product offering based on non-product characteristics, such as billing state or shipping zip code. You can select the rule matrix link in the step to define the matrix. |
| Pricing plan | Name of the configurable pricing plan. |
| Extension point | Option that displays the PricingAdjustmentsExtensionPoint if you selected the Apply Custom Adjustments action. |
Specify certain conditions for running the step, if applicable.
Note: Any conditions that aren't met, are ignored.
Type of condition Description Header condition Use the condition builder to add or change conditions that control when the step is run, based on the transaction header (for example the header for an opportunity, quote, or order). Specify the condition fields to be used, for example a context variable for transaction headers, product characteristics, or other objects such as account or product offering. Line condition Use the condition filter to add or change conditions that control when the step is run, based on the transaction line (for example an opportunity, quote, or order line). Specify the condition fields to be use, such as a context variable for transaction lines, product characteristics, or other objects, such as account or product offering. Select Save.
To continue adding or changing steps, repeat steps 4 through 7.
If you need to remove a step, see Delete a pricing plan step.
When you're finished adding or changing steps, select Publish.
The configurable plan becomes the active pricing plan, and the former active plan is retired.
