The Effective Date Pricing SuiteApp enables you to set a schedule for specific price changes in advance. You can select the start date and end date when you expect the price changes to take effect. A scheduled script runs in the background to automatically update the item prices on the scheduled period. On the specified end date, the item price reverts to its original price.
You can also set the price as a permanent change. The permanent change in the item price takes effect on the date you selected as the start date for the price update.
For optimal performance, you should run each script daily at midnight in the time zone specified in Company Preferences.
Price updates can be applied on an item or a customer. The Effective Date Pricing SuiteApp includes the following update types:
- Item for single item updates
- Item Category for updating a group of items
- Customer for single customer updates
- Customer Group for updating a group of customers
You can apply a price update on these update types by creating a price update record.
