receiving a request to calculate a transfer price for a transaction between a first entity and a second entity of a supply chain financial orchestration flow, wherein the supply chain financial orchestration flow defines a trade relationship between the first entity and the second entity;

receiving transaction information associated with the transaction;

selecting a transfer pricing rule from a plurality of transfer pricing rules, wherein the transfer pricing rule defines a rule to calculate a transfer price;

calculating the transfer price for the transaction based on the received transaction information and the selected transfer pricing rule; and

providing the transfer price.

2 . The computer-readable medium of claim 1 , wherein the transfer pricing rule comprises a source document price-based transfer pricing rule;

the determining further comprising:

receiving a document price of a source document;

receiving a currency and unit of measure; and

applying a markup to the document price using the currency and the unit of measure to produce the transfer price.

3 . The computer-readable medium of claim 1 , wherein the transfer pricing rule comprises a transaction cost-based transfer pricing rule;

the determining further comprising:

receiving a transaction cost; and

applying a markup to the transaction cost to produce the transfer price.

4 . The computer-readable medium of claim 1 , wherein the transfer pricing rule comprises a pricing strategy-based transfer pricing rule;

the determining further comprising:

selecting a pricing strategy comprising one or more pricing rules; and

applying the pricing strategy to the received transaction information to produce the transfer price.

5 . The computer-readable medium of claim 1 , wherein the transfer pricing rule comprises an external pricing service transfer pricing rule;

the determining further comprising:

calling an external pricing service to produce the transfer price.

7 . The computer-readable medium of claim 1 , the determining further comprising:

determining whether a transfer price has already been calculated for the transaction; and

providing the already-calculated transfer price rather than calculating a new transfer price.

8 . The computer-readable medium of claim 1 , the determining further comprising storing the transfer price.

9 . The computer-readable medium of claim 1 , the determining further comprising defining at least one pricing rule of the plurality of pricing rules to be one of: a source document price-based transfer pricing rule; a transaction cost-based transfer pricing rule; a pricing strategy-based transfer pricing rule; or a an external pricing service transfer pricing rule.

receiving transaction information associated with the transaction;

selecting a transfer pricing rule from a plurality of transfer pricing rules, wherein the transfer pricing rule defines a rule to calculate a transfer price;

calculating the transfer price for the transaction based on the received transaction information and the selected transfer pricing rule; and

providing the transfer price.

12 . The computer-implemented method of claim 11 , wherein the transfer pricing rule comprises a source document price-based transfer pricing rule;

the computer-implemented method further comprising:

receiving a document price of a source document;

receiving a currency and unit of measure;

applying a markup to the document price using the currency and the unit of measure to produce the transfer price.

13 . The computer-implemented method of claim 11 , wherein the transfer pricing rule comprises a transaction cost-based transfer pricing rule;

the computer-implemented method further comprising:

receiving a transaction cost;

applying a markup to the transaction cost to produce the transfer price.

14 . The computer-implemented method of claim 11 , wherein the transfer pricing rule comprises a pricing strategy-based transfer pricing rule;

the computer-implemented method further comprising:

selecting a pricing strategy comprising one or more pricing rules; and

applying the pricing strategy to the received transaction information to produce the transfer price.

15 . The computer-implemented method of claim 11 , wherein the transfer pricing rule comprises an external pricing service transfer pricing rule;

the computer-implemented method further comprising:

calling an external pricing service to produce the transfer price.

16 . A system, comprising:

a transfer price request reception module configured to receive a request to calculate a transfer price for a transaction between a first entity and a second entity of a supply chain financial orchestration flow, wherein the supply chain financial orchestration flow defines a trade relationship between the first entity and the second entity;

a transaction information reception module configured to receive transaction information associated with the transaction;

a transfer pricing rule selection module configured to select a transfer pricing rule from a plurality of transfer pricing rules, wherein the transfer pricing rule defines a rule to calculate a transfer price;

a transfer price provision module configured to provide the transfer price.

17 . The system of claim 16 , wherein the transfer pricing rule comprises a source document price-based transfer pricing rule;

wherein the transfer price calculation module is further configured to receive a document price of a source document;

wherein the transfer price calculation module is further configured to receive a currency and unit of measure; and

wherein the transfer price calculation module is further configured to apply a markup to the document price using the currency and the unit of measure to produce the transfer price.

18 . The system of claim 16 , wherein the transfer pricing rule comprises a transaction cost-based transfer pricing rule;

wherein the transfer price calculation module is further configured to receive a transaction cost; and

wherein the transfer price calculation module is further configured to apply a markup to the transaction cost to produce the transfer price.

19 . The system of claim 16 , wherein the transfer pricing rule comprises a pricing strategy-based transfer pricing rule;

wherein the transfer price calculation module is further configured to select a pricing strategy comprising one or more pricing rules; and

wherein the transfer price calculation module is further configured to apply the pricing strategy to the received transaction information to produce the transfer price.
