Generating LCM Charges using Custom

Pricing Attributes

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

The new application, Landed Cost Management (LCM), enables exact

shipment charges to be applied to incoming receipts. These charges are
calculated using the Freight and Special Charges functionality from Advanced
Pricing within the Pricing Transaction Entity of Purchasing.
Advanced Pricing is very flexible in that custom attributes can be defined to
derive specific charges. The way that Landed Cost Management builds these
attributes is different from the processing for Advanced Pricing with
Purchasing.

Introduction

Using the standard Pricing Attributes for Item Number and Purchasing Item
Category, as well as the other seeded Qualifiers will generate the charges in
LCM. When trying to define custom attributes to derive charges, it appeared
that the system was not calculating the correct values.
There are several notes that exist within My Oracle Support regarding the
setup of Advanced Pricing to function with LCM. This document is designed
to supplement those documents.

CALLING THE PRICING PACKAGE

Overview

When prices in Purchasing are affected by modifiers using the integration to

Advanced Pricing, either Discounts or Surcharges, the package
PO_ADVANCED_PRICE_PVT is used to link the purchasing document to
the pricing objects. However, for Landed Cost Management (LCM), the
values created for the charges against the receipt shipments are derived by
Modifiers created as Freight and Special Charges in Advanced Pricing and
they must be defined against the Purchasing Pricing Transaction
Entity(PTE) and PO System Source Code.
Using this PTE, the package PO_ADVANCED_PRICE_PVT is used again,
however, LCM uses different values in the package, and the correct
calculation of charges will be dependent on calling the correct variables when
the receipt shipments are processed.
The package contains set of variables split between Header values
(header_rec_type) and Line values (line_rec_type). The list below
indicates which values are populated when a shipment is processed in LCM,
i.e. Generate Charges.
header_rec_type

line_rec_type

org_id

supplier_id

p_order_header_id

supplier_site_id

supplier_id

ship_to_location_id

supplier_site_id

ship_to_org_id

creation_date

item_id

ship_to_location_id

category_id

ship_to_org_id

currency_code

shipment_header_id

need_by_date

shipment_num

shipment_line_id

currency_code

primary_unit_of_measure

source_org_id

to_organization_id
unit_of_measure
source_document_code
quantity

Therefore, in the procedure of creating custom packages and functions

defined to generate non-standard attributes for pricing and qualifiers, the
variables to be used need to be defined per the list above.
For pricing calls in Purchasing the general approach is to use the
order_line_id, i.e. PO_ADVANCED_PRICE_PVT.G_LINE.order_line_id and in the
query for the custom function reference this value against the po_line_id in
PO_LINES_ALL.
However, for calls from Landed Cost Management when the shipments have
the charges generated, there is a different call to be made. The order_line_id
is a NULL value, and therefore not in the list. Thus as charges are created for
shipments, the best value to use is shipment_line_id. This value does not
exist in PO_LINES_ALL, but instead in INL_SHIP_LINES_ALL.
The

table

INL_SHIP_LINES_ALL
has
references
to
the
INVENTORY_ITEM_ID and SHIP_TO_ORGANIZATION_ID. This table also
has the SHIP_LINE_SOURCE_ID which links to the LINE_LOCATION_ID in
PO_LINE_LOCATIONS_ALL. So it is very easy to link back to the original
Purchase Order from the LCM shipment.

EXAMPLE PACKAGE

The below package and function is designed to retrieve a specific Category

value from an item. This is not the Purchasing Category Set, this is a different
Category Set, in this example, Customs Class.
Note: One could use a custom profile option then hard-code the Category Set
in the query.
Specification

Body

Advanced Pricing Set Up

To accompany the custom package and function, the following Advanced Pricing

This set up will link the custom package and function to the custom attribute,
in this case a qualifier. The normal pricing Modifier set up can be defined and
after Build Attribute Mapping is completed, the correct charges applied in
LCM.
