# BOM Cookbook — Building `generate_bom` Payloads Copy-paste recipes that map common customer requirements to the exact OCI SKUs the `generate_bom`, `generate_bom_appca`, and `generate_cost_estimate` MCP tools expect. The goal is to skip the "grep the catalog and guess SKUs" exploration loop that burns tool calls on well-known patterns. > **If the requirement does not match any recipe below, consult > [`kb/services/`](../kb/services/) and > [`kb/pricing/oci-sku-catalog.yaml`](../kb/pricing/oci-sku-catalog.yaml) > before inventing SKUs.** All SKUs below are verified against the catalog as of > 2026-04-20; re-`grep` the catalog if a recipe ever fails. ## Payload Shape All three tools accept the same envelope: ```json { "customer_id": "acme-prod", "discount_pct": 0.35, "currency": "USD", "services": [ { "sku": "B90777", "quantity": 1 } ] } ``` - `customer_id`: free-form identifier, used for output file naming. - `discount_pct`: decimal (0.35 = 35%). Applied to every line unless overridden. - `services[].quantity`: integer or float depending on the SKU metric (ECPUs, GB, hours). --- ## Recipe 1 — Exadata Cloud Service (ExaCS) X11M, BYOL **When it matches:** "ExaCS X11M BYOL, N ECPUs, M TB storage, no DR" — customer-managed Oracle Database on dedicated Exadata hardware, BYOL licensing. **SKUs:** | SKU | Component | Typical qty | |-----|-----------|-------------| | `B90777` | Exadata Infrastructure — Base System | `1` per rack | | `B110627` | Exadata Database Server — X11M | `2` (Base/Quarter) — adjust per rack config | | `B110629` | Exadata Storage Server — X11M | `3` (Base/Quarter) — adjust per rack config | | `B110632` | Exadata Database ECPU — Dedicated Infra BYOL (X11M) | One per ECPU | Swap `B110632` → `B110631` for PAYG (license-included) pricing. **Payload (120 ECPUs, 120 TB, BYOL, standard Base System):** ```json { "customer_id": "acme-exacs", "discount_pct": 0.35, "currency": "USD", "services": [ { "sku": "B90777", "quantity": 1 }, { "sku": "B110627", "quantity": 2 }, { "sku": "B110629", "quantity": 3 }, { "sku": "B110632", "quantity": 120 } ] } ``` --- ## Recipe 2 — Autonomous Database Dedicated (ADB-D), BYOL **When it matches:** "ADB Dedicated, N ECPUs, M TB, BYOL" — Autonomous Database running on dedicated Exadata infrastructure. **⚠️ Gotcha that burns tool calls:** ADB-Dedicated has **no separate infrastructure SKUs** in the catalog. It reuses the same Exadata dedicated infra SKUs as ExaCS (`B90777`, `B110627`, `B110629`) plus the same Exadata ECPU SKU (`B110631`/`B110632`). The Autonomous-vs-customer-managed distinction is a tenancy-level configuration, not a billing line item. Do not search for `autonomous_dedicated` SKUs — they do not exist. **SKUs:** identical to Recipe 1. **Payload (64 ECPUs, BYOL):** ```json { "customer_id": "acme-adbd", "discount_pct": 0.35, "currency": "USD", "services": [ { "sku": "B90777", "quantity": 1 }, { "sku": "B110627", "quantity": 2 }, { "sku": "B110629", "quantity": 3 }, { "sku": "B110632", "quantity": 64 } ] } ``` --- ## Recipe 3 — Autonomous Database Serverless (ADB-S) + Block Volume + FastConnect **When it matches:** "ADB-S ATP, N ECPUs, M TB data + block storage for app tier + FastConnect to on-prem" — the typical "app on OCI Compute, DB on ADB-S" pattern. **SKUs:** | SKU | Component | Metric | |-----|-----------|--------| | `B95701` | ADB ECPU (ATP or ADW) — license-included | ECPU/hour | | `B95703` | ADB ECPU BYOL — use instead of B95701 if BYOL | ECPU/hour | | `B95706` | ADB ATP data storage | GB/month | | `B95754` | ADB ADW data storage — use instead of B95706 for warehouse | GB/month | | `B95754a` | ADB backup storage | GB/month | | `B91961` | Block Volume storage (app tier) | GB/month | | `B91962` | Block Volume performance (VPU) — optional, for higher IOPS tiers | VPU/GB/month | | `B88326` | FastConnect 10 Gbps port | port-hour | Swap `B88326` → `B88325` (1 Gbps) or `B93126` (100 Gbps) as needed. **Payload (16 ECPUs ATP license-included, 2 TB data + 1 TB backup, 500 GB block, 10 G FastConnect):** ```json { "customer_id": "acme-adbs", "discount_pct": 0.35, "currency": "USD", "services": [ { "sku": "B95701", "quantity": 16 }, { "sku": "B95706", "quantity": 2048 }, { "sku": "B95754a", "quantity": 1024 }, { "sku": "B91961", "quantity": 500 }, { "sku": "B88326", "quantity": 1 } ] } ``` --- ## Recipe 4 — Big Data Service + Data Science + Data Flow (analytics stack) **When it matches:** "HDFS-managed cluster for ETL", "notebooks + model deployment", "managed Spark pipelines" — typical OCI analytics/AI workload mix. **SKUs:** | SKU | Component | Metric | |-----|-----------|--------| | `B91128` | Big Data Service — Compute Standard (real) | OCPU/hour | | `B91129` | Big Data Service — Compute Dense I/O (real) | OCPU/hour | | `B91130` | Big Data Service — Compute HPC (real) | OCPU/hour | | `B93555` | Big Data Service — Core (real) | OCPU/hour | | `EST-DS-NOTEBOOK` | **[Estimate]** Data Science notebook session — priced as underlying VM.Standard OCPU | OCPU/hour | | `EST-DS-MODEL` | **[Estimate]** Data Science model-deployment endpoint — priced as underlying VM.Standard OCPU | OCPU/hour | | `EST-DF-SPARK` | **[Estimate]** Data Flow managed Spark runtime — priced as underlying VM.Standard OCPU | OCPU/hour | OCI Data Science and OCI Data Flow have no dedicated SKUs in the Oracle public pricing API — both are billed via the underlying Compute shape + Block/Object Storage consumed. The `EST-*` entries are placeholder estimates (VM.Standard3.Flex OCPU rate) so BOMs can include them as line items with an explicit "estimate" flag; confirm the actual shape and hours with the customer before quoting. **Payload (16 BDS Standard + 8 BDS Dense I/O + 4 notebook + 2 model + 8 Spark):** ```json { "customer_id": "acme-analytics", "discount_pct": 0.30, "currency": "USD", "services": [ { "sku": "B91128", "quantity": 16 }, { "sku": "B91129", "quantity": 8 }, { "sku": "EST-DS-NOTEBOOK", "quantity": 4 }, { "sku": "EST-DS-MODEL", "quantity": 2 }, { "sku": "EST-DF-SPARK", "quantity": 8 } ] } ``` Add `B91961` (Block Volume) and `B91628` (Object Storage Standard) when the customer needs dedicated storage beyond the compute default. --- ## When a recipe doesn't fit 1. Grep the catalog: `grep -n "" kb/pricing/oci-sku-catalog.yaml` 2. Check service docs under `kb/services/` for deployment-specific guidance. 3. Check `kb/field-knowledge/` for known sizing/pricing gotchas. 4. If a SKU still cannot be located, surface the gap to the user rather than guessing — fabricated SKUs break the BOM silently.
