To start using the Effective Date Pricing SuiteApp, you must create a record for each of the update types to which the price change applies. You define the update types by creating price update records.
You can create a price update record for the following update types:
- Item Update Type
- Item Category Update Type
- Customer Update Type
- Customer Group Update Type
Item Update Type
The Item update type enables you to apply price updates on the item that you selected. The price update for the selected item takes effect on the specified start date and ends if there is a specified end date.
The Effective Date Pricing SuiteApp currently supports the following item types:
- Inventory Item
- Non-Inventory Item
- For Sale
- For Resale
- Assembly/Bill of Materials
Item Category Update Type
Selecting the Item Category update type enables you to apply price updates on a group of items. Price updates apply to all items that belong to the item category that you have selected. You can also create an item category by selecting – New – from the Item Category field.
You can create an item category after you have the correct assigned permission.
Items added to an item category after validation:
- are not processed if a price update is already in progress
- are not validated against existing price updates
- may possibly cause an overlap wherein an item can be updated multiple times in a day
