Oracle Order Management Redwood for Pricing and Configurator represents a major move toward a more modern, streamlined and business-friendly experience for managing pricing, promotions, discounts, cost lists, subscription pricing and product configuration. Oracle’s material positions the session as guidance for implementing the new Redwood solution for Order Management Pricing and Configurator.

For organizations using Oracle Fusion Cloud Order Management, this is important because pricing and configuration directly affect sales order accuracy, margin control, customer experience and operational efficiency. Pricing teams need faster ways to manage price lists, discounts, promotions and approvals. Product and sales teams need a cleaner way to configure complex products, validate rules and align configurations with product master data. The shift to Redwood is not only a user interface change. It introduces Redwood-only capabilities, simplified workflows, stronger pricing governance and a more modern product configuration experience.

Why Redwood Matters for Pricing and Configurator

Pricing and product configuration are two of the most critical areas in order management. If pricing setup is slow or unclear, sales order execution becomes difficult. If configuration rules are complex or disconnected from product data, order accuracy and fulfillment readiness can suffer. Oracle’s session agenda focuses on Redwood highlights, product roadmap, resources, FAQs and live Q&A. This structure shows that Redwood adoption is both functional and strategic. Customers need to understand what is available today, what is planned, where to find guidance and what to consider before moving from Classic experiences. The business objective is clear: make pricing and configuration easier to manage, easier to govern and better aligned with modern order execution.

Redwood Pricing: Smarter, Simpler and More Powerful

Oracle positions Redwood Pricing as a smarter, simpler and more powerful way to manage pricing. The material highlights three major areas: Pricing Promotions, Price and Discount Management and the Landing Page experience. This matters because pricing teams often manage many connected objects: price lists, discount lists, promotions, cost lists, approval workflows, pricing strategies, policies and price books. In Classic experiences, these activities may require more navigation and setup effort. Redwood aims to simplify this through modern pages, quick actions, guided journeys and centralized management.

Pricing Promotions in Redwood

Oracle’s Redwood Pricing capabilities include user-defined business rules, a logic rule builder and end-to-end promotion management. Users can create, copy and delete promotions. Redwood also supports off-invoice discounts, tiered offers, buy-one-get-one promotions, free goods, cross-item promotions and applying promotions to sales orders with promotion codes. This is valuable because promotions are often time-sensitive and revenue-sensitive. Businesses may need to launch offers quickly, apply them consistently and ensure that promotion logic is correctly reflected on sales orders.

Redwood’s promotion capabilities support practical commercial needs such as:

Seasonal campaigns
Customer-specific offers
Tiered volume promotions
Free goods offers
Cross-item promotions
Promotion-code-based sales order pricing

The key benefit is stronger control over how promotions are created, managed and applied.

Price and Discount Management

Oracle’s Redwood Pricing material highlights several capabilities for price and discount management. These include managing tiered, matrix and simple discounts, using spreadsheet-style grids for bulk price list updates, running mass actions across lists with scheduling and error reporting, using price list approval workflows with rule-based routing and streamlining cost list setup with integration to Oracle Cost Management. This is a strong improvement for pricing operations.

Pricing teams often need to update many items, discounts or lists at once. A spreadsheet-style grid and mass action framework can reduce repetitive updates and improve productivity. Approval workflows add governance, especially when pricing changes affect revenue, margins and customer commitments. Integration with Oracle Cost Management is also important because pricing decisions often depend on cost visibility. When cost list setup and pricing administration are better connected, teams can support more margin-aware pricing decisions.

Redwood Pricing Landing Page

The Redwood Pricing landing page gives users tabs to manage price lists, discount lists, promotion lists, cost lists and price books. It also includes quick actions for creating lists, pricing strategies and policies, guided journeys with help, FAQs and documentation, and an Approvals tab to view, route and manage price list approvals. This creates a more centralized pricing workspace. Instead of moving across disconnected setup areas, pricing users can access core pricing objects and actions from a more guided experience. This improves navigation, shortens task execution and supports better user adoption.

Redwood-Only Pricing Enhancements

Oracle explicitly identifies several pricing enhancements as Redwood-only and not available in Classic UI. These include end-to-end promotion management, user-defined business rules, logic rule builder, off-invoice discounts, tiered offers, buy-one-get-one, free goods, cross-item promotions and promotion code application.

Redwood-only enhancements also include spreadsheet-style grid updates for price lists, mass actions with scheduling and error reporting, price list approval workflows, Oracle Cost Management integration, pricing formulas for price calculation, quick actions, guided journeys and the Approvals tab. This is a key point for customers. Redwood is not only a visual modernization. New pricing capabilities are being introduced in Redwood first or only in Redwood. For pricing teams, this means Redwood adoption should be part of the pricing modernization roadmap.

Subscription Pricing in Redwood

Oracle’s Redwood-only pricing enhancements include subscription pricing capabilities such as managing rate plans for subscriptions, defining tiered adjustments on rate plan charges and negotiating rate plans only in the price list’s currency. This is important for businesses that sell subscription-based products or services. Subscription pricing often requires rate plans, tiered adjustments, usage-based logic and entitlement structures. Redwood provides a foundation for more modern subscription pricing administration.

Redwood Pricing Roadmap

Oracle’s Pricing Redwood Roadmap includes several targeted capabilities. For 26A, the roadmap includes using price books to price sales orders, publishing price books to customers, using pricing formulas for mass actions on price lists and managing currency conversion rules. For 26B, the roadmap includes mass actions for rate plans, using price books to price sales orders for additional charge types, automated recalculation and formula reuse, and promotions for models, coverage and subscriptions.

For 26C and beyond, Oracle lists customer strategies, segments and profiles, shipping charge lists, returns pricing, rule builder for discount eligibility, pricing and promotion eligibility based on customer buying groups, and advanced rate plan capabilities such as usage allowances, commitments, advanced usage attribution and ramp pricing. Because the material includes Oracle’s safe harbor statement, roadmap items should be treated as product direction rather than guaranteed delivery commitments.

Redwood Configurator: A Modern Approach to Product Configuration

Oracle’s Redwood Configurator is presented as a modern approach to product configuration. The material highlights simplified rule authoring, business-user empowerment, integration with core product data, AI-driven conversational configuration and a modern Redwood plus AI platform. This is significant because product configuration has traditionally required specialized knowledge. Complex rule authoring, configuration logic, model testing and runtime behavior can be difficult for business users to manage. Redwood Configurator aims to simplify this by bringing configuration closer to Product Management and making rule authoring more intuitive.

Simplified Rule Authoring

Oracle states that Redwood Configurator supports simplified rule authoring to create and manage rules more easily, with intuitive tools that reduce complexity. This helps product managers and business teams participate more directly in configuration setup. When rule authoring becomes easier, businesses can reduce dependency on specialists for every configuration change. This can improve agility in product launches, configurable product updates and sales order readiness.

Business User Empowerment

The material highlights empowering business users by shifting ownership of configuration from specialists to product managers and business teams. This is a major business process shift. Product configuration decisions are often owned by product, sales, engineering or operations teams. If only technical specialists can manage the rules, updates may slow down. Redwood Configurator supports a model where business users can participate more directly, while governance remains connected to Product Management and Order Management.

Integration with Core Product Data

Oracle’s material states that Redwood Configurator is integrated with core product data to align rules with the product master and ensure accuracy, consistency and governance. This is critical because configuration rules should not be disconnected from the product master. If product structures, item attributes and configuration rules are not aligned, sales orders can become inaccurate or difficult to fulfill. Integration with product data helps ensure that what is configured can be sold, priced and fulfilled correctly.

AI-Driven Conversational Configuration

The material also highlights an AI-driven conversational configuration experience that enables fluid, customer-centric interactions that adapt to user needs. This points to a more intelligent future for product configuration. Instead of forcing users to navigate only static configuration screens, AI can help guide configuration conversations, suggest options and adapt based on user requirements. For complex products and services, this can improve the selling and ordering experience.

Redwood Configurator Features Available

Oracle lists Redwood Configurator features available as of 25D across two areas: Configurator Rule Administration and Product Configuration in Order Management. For Configurator Rule Administration, available features include managing Configurator Rules in Oracle Product Management, authoring logic-based Configurator Rules, authoring numeric Configurator Rules, testing Configurator Rule behavior and setting effective dates for Configurator Rules.

For Product Configuration in Order Management, available features include configuring items on sales orders, viewing a summary of the configured item’s structure, importing a sales order with Configurator models using a REST API and validating configured items on sales orders. This shows that Redwood Configurator supports both rule administration and runtime sales order configuration.

Redwood Configurator Roadmap

Oracle’s Configurator Redwood Roadmap includes several targeted capabilities. For 26A, the roadmap includes comparison operators in formula rules, default behavior for Configurator Rules, real-time pricing with configured items, nested models and Configurator Rule migration. For 26B, the roadmap includes authoring Configurator Rule changes in a commercial change order, iterative and compatibility Configurator Rules, supplemental structure and attributes for Configurator models, transactional item attributes for product and service configuration, Configurator extension rules and Configurator running summary.

For 26C and beyond, Oracle lists enhanced rule management with copy, bulk update and usage tracking; enhanced runtime with UI attributes and display conditions; connectors to add and manage related products that are not part of the main model; model references for configuring multiple sub-models within a parent model; and viewing and applying promotions as a product or service is configured. These roadmap items show that Redwood Configurator is evolving toward richer rule management, better runtime flexibility and stronger connection between configuration, pricing and promotions.

Redwood Migration Considerations

Oracle’s FAQ states that transitioning to Redwood is not currently mandatory. However, Oracle advises planning the move at the earliest opportunity because future development and new features will be centered on Redwood. This is an important adoption message. Customers may not need to migrate immediately, but waiting too long could delay access to new pricing, configurator and AI capabilities. Businesses should start readiness planning, review dependencies and identify which Redwood-only enhancements matter most.

Pricing Features Available in Redwood

Oracle’s FAQ explains that Oracle is not counting pages in the conversion from Classic to Redwood because, in many cases, Redwood streamlines pages and condenses navigation and the number of clicks required to perform pricing setup. At a feature level, available Redwood features include Price Lists, Discount Lists, Cost Lists and Currency Conversion Rules. Shipping Charge Lists and Strategy, Segment and Profile setups are listed as in progress. This is useful for planning. Businesses should map their current pricing setup to the Redwood feature set and identify what is available, what is in progress and what may require future release planning.

Promotions Are Redwood-Only

Oracle’s FAQ clarifies that the Promotions feature was introduced as a Redwood-only feature and will not be available in Classic UX. This is one of the strongest reasons for pricing teams to evaluate Redwood adoption. If promotions are a key part of the commercial model, Redwood is not optional from a capability standpoint. Businesses that need modern promotions, promotion codes and sales order promotion application should plan around Redwood.

Advanced Fields and Business Rules

Oracle’s FAQ explains that as part of Redwood migration, Oracle analyzed advanced setup flavors that are not commonly used. In some cases, advanced fields are not visible by default because most customers do not need them. Customers who want to use them can make them available through business rules. This reflects a key Redwood design principle: simplify the user experience for most users, while still allowing advanced users to expose additional fields when needed. For implementation teams, this means Redwood adoption may require reviewing business rules and identifying whether any hidden advanced fields must be exposed for specific pricing scenarios.

Dynamic vs Static Calculations

Oracle’s FAQ highlights a major consideration when moving from Classic to Redwood: dynamic versus static calculations. In Classic UX, certain calculations can only be done at runtime while pricing the sales order, such as cost plus price list charges, UOM price calculations and currency conversions. In Redwood, customers have the option to pre-calculate these conversions and calculations through mass actions.

The advantages include faster and more efficient sales order pricing, the ability to preview and adjust calculations before they are used for a sales order and the ability to set up approvals on actual price list prices. This is a major operational improvement. Pre-calculation allows pricing teams to validate results before they affect live sales orders.

AI Features Are Available Through Redwood

Oracle’s FAQ states that AI features are available only through the Redwood UI in Fusion Applications. This means Redwood is also the path toward AI-enabled capabilities. Customers planning AI adoption in Order Management, Pricing or Configurator should align that roadmap with Redwood readiness.

Key Considerations for Redwood Configurator Adoption

Oracle’s FAQ says Redwood Configurator is completely reimagined in Redwood, with a streamlined modeling process, updated runtime, direct integration to Product Management and dependencies on Product Management and Order Management. This is critical. Redwood Configurator is not simply a screen refresh. It is a new implementation model. Customers should assess Product Management and Order Management readiness before adopting the new Configurator capabilities.

Can Classic and Redwood Configurator Coexist?

Oracle’s FAQ states that Classic Fusion Configurator models will continue to work uninterrupted within Classic Fusion Order Management. Orders created in Redwood will use the Redwood version of Configurator model definitions. This supports transition planning. Businesses may run Classic and Redwood experiences during a migration period, but they need to understand which model definitions apply depending on where orders are created.

Will Classic Configurator Rules Automatically Work in Redwood?

Oracle’s FAQ states that current Classic Configurator rules will not automatically be enabled for Redwood because Redwood Configurator is a brand-new implementation with a new rule engine and runtime. Rules need to be migrated to Redwood, and an FBDI program is planned to convert legacy Fusion and EBS rules to the new Redwood format. This is one of the most important implementation points. Customers should not assume that existing rules will move automatically. Configurator migration requires planning, rule review, conversion, validation and testing.

Configurator Rule Types in Redwood

Oracle’s FAQ states that Redwood supports logic rules for When/Then use cases and formula-based rules for more complex rule logic. It also states that all rule modeling capabilities supported in CDL rules will be supported in Redwood. This helps customers understand the rule authoring direction. Basic logical rules and more complex formula-driven rules are both part of the Redwood Configurator model.

Validating Pricing Setup Against Configurator Models

Oracle’s FAQ states that customers can validate Pricing Strategies and pricing setup directly against Redwood Configurator models within Product Management. While modeling, users can use the Test Model feature to verify pricing behavior, similar to functionality available in Classic Fusion Configurator. This is highly valuable because pricing and configuration must work together. A configuration may be technically valid but still need pricing validation before order execution. The Test Model feature helps teams verify pricing behavior earlier in the modeling process.

Enabling Redwood Configurator

Oracle’s FAQ states that enabling Redwood Configurator requires Redwood Product Management and Order Management. The required feature opt-ins are Order Management – Redwood: Manage Configured Items on Sales Orders and Product Management – Redwood: Author Configurator Rules in Product Management. This makes the dependency clear. Redwood Configurator adoption should be planned across both Product Management and Order Management, not treated as a standalone enablement.

Business Value of Redwood Pricing and Configurator

The combined value of Redwood Pricing and Configurator is significant. For pricing teams, Redwood can improve promotion management, price list updates, discount setup, approval workflows, cost integration, subscription pricing and mass actions. For product and order management teams, Redwood Configurator can improve rule authoring, product data alignment, configuration testing, sales order configuration, pricing validation and business-user ownership.
