In order to create a matrix price list, two logics are required – one generates the key, the other calculates the price list based on that key. The key generator logic must be specified as Matrix logic in the Price List setup.

Define the matrix key generator (matrix pricing logic):

1. Go to PriceBuilder Configuration > Calculation Logic > Generic Logic. Create a new logic and set Nature to Matrix.
2. Define the logic's elements. Create one visible element which will return a list of keys generated based on input parameters. Below is an example of keys generated from Datacenters, Terms_Payments, Tiers, Customers, and Programs elements.

...

Define a price list logic which will reference the matrix logic and retrieve the key list:

1. Go to PriceBuilder Configuration > Calculation Logic > Generic Logic. Create a new logic.
2. Create an element which retrieves the secondary key using the method api.getSecondaryKey().

3. The returned key can be split into various components which will be used to calculate the price based on their variations.

   Code Block
   language groovy
   def key = api.getElement("Debug")=="No" ? api.getSecondaryKey() : "B1A-36PT5-C1S" def parts = key?.tokenize("-") return [   dc: parts[0],   term: parts[1][0..1],   payment: parts[1][2],   tier: parts[1][3..4],   program: parts[2][0],   version: parts[2][1],   priceType: parts[2][2] ]

   
   

4. This makes it possible to extract a secondary key component for subsequent substitutions. Like this:

   Code Block
   language groovy
   return api.getElement("SecondaryKey")?.dc  //for Datacenter

   or

   Code Block
   language groovy
   return api.getElement("SecondaryKey")?.term  //for Term

   
   

5. Subsequent logic performs substitutions to build the SKU, look up currency, and calculate prices for the price list.
