Customer-specific pricing and SX.API calls

Two SX.api calls, sxapiOEPricingMultipleExternal and sxapiOEPricingExternal, are available to return pricing data with these output values:

• Replacement Cost
• Customer Rebate Amount
• Vendor Rebate Amount
• Pricing Record number
• Rebate Record number

You can permit access to these calls for your external customers to check price and availability for their products. The calls are accessed through the API gateway service. The returned data is restricted based on two globally unique identifier (GUID) fields. First, the customer is granted access to log in based on the IFS User value that corresponds to the SA Operator Setup record. Second, the API Key field in Customer Setup limits the customer's access to only their data.

To enable access for your external customers, specify security options, such as cost visibility, in SA Operator Setup records for any customers allowed to use your API. Additionally, specify a unique identifier for each customer in the API Key field in Customer Setup-eCommerce to tie an API user with a CloudSuite Distribution customer. This tie ensures that data returned in the calls is restricted to the customer.
