This section will guide you throw the whole process of Accelerator deployment.

Deployment from PlatformManager

The easiest way to deploy the Rebate Manager Accelerator to a partition is via PlatformManager.

1. Access PlatformManager at https://platform.pricefx.com/ and log in with your account or using O365. If you do not have an account yet, contact Pricefx Support.

2. Go to Marketplace and find the Rebate Management package.

3. Click the accelerator package tile, select the partition where you want to deploy the package and confirm the deployment dialog to start.
   For detailed description of all deployment options, see PlatformManager documentation.

4. Set up data source mapping. 

   Open

   

    

5. Select a Rebate Type to be deployed (from a list of rebate types provided in the package). 

   Open

   

    

6. The deployment is complete. 

Manual Steps

 The current version of PlatformManager does not support deployment of the following components, so you must deploy them manually.

Synchronize Product and Customer (Optional)

If data and metadata of customers (C) and products (P) in your partition are synced, you can skip this step.

Synchronize Metadata

1. Go to Analytics > Data Manager > Data Sources. 

2. Select Customer > click the Sync Meta icon and click the Deploy icon.

Repeat the same steps for Product.

Synchronize Data

1. Go to Analytics > Data Manager > Data Loads. 

2. Find Type = Customers and click the Run icon to sync data.

    

3. Find Type = Products and click the Run icon to sync data. 

Check Mapping Field in Company Parameters

To be able to apply a Customer filter input and Product filter input in a rebate agreement, you need to update the mapping fields between Product/Customer master and Datamart fields.

Based on the Datamart structure and Product/Customer master in your partition, you need to update or add more mapping in two Company Parameters:

• RM_ProductFieldMapping

• RM_CustomerFieldMapping
  
  

Example: This is mapping in the "RM_CustomerFieldMapping" table: 

• Column "Customer Master Field Name" = "Source field" in the customer Data Source.

• Column "Datamart Field Name" = Datamart field name.
