Price control

The Price control is used for approving and modifying price suggestions. Price control is destined for stores marked as Franchise stores, as well as Profiles marked with Create price suggestions in Store Management.

At the right side you find a side panel for editing, rejecting, and approving suggested prices. The side panel is automatically expanded when you open Price control. You can also expand the panel if you click on the Edit price button, or you use the arrow on the right side of the grid.

• New store prices are created based on approved price suggestions.

• A new store price is always created if a price suggestion is approved for an item that does not have a future price. The existing future price is overwritten when the suggested price (from the profile or price zone) is different and starts at the same time after acceptance.

• Information about the number of approved or rejected prices appears at the bottom of the page.

• It is possible to approve or reject up to 1000 suggested prices at a time.

• The side panel disappears (collapse) when you click on the arrow on the right side of the panel or selects additional prices, which means that several prices will be selected at the same time. The side panel will not expand when several prices are selected.

Filtering in Price control

At the top of the view there is a panel for filtering which store/profile you want to check in the Price control. It has two fields, Store group level and Store/Profile. The panel can be hidden by and made visible.

At Store group level you can select at which level you want to filer, and in the Store/Profile you select the store/profile you want to filter on (depending on the selected store group level). After adding a filter, price suggestions is according to the selected filter.  

Only profiles/stores for which there is any price suggestion can be selected. The ability to select a store/profile is dependent on the access the user has, and for a user with access to a single store, the filter panel is invisible. The profile/store selection initial value is set with the first profile/store(depending on user access) which has any suggestions. The above include both Price control grid and Price control history grid.

Modify and approve rows

In the side panel you can modify and approve price suggestions on rows. One row at the time. The panel has the buttons Keep margin, Reject, and Approve.
