Price threshold

Review price changes that exceed the defined increase/decrease threshold; approve the target price or delete the record.

The Price threshold screen is where price changes that exceed the defined increase or decrease threshold are submitted for approval. If a product's new (target) sale price deviates from the current price beyond the allowed threshold, the change is not applied directly but waits in this list. The pricing team reviews each row; they approve the target price by confirming the appropriate change or delete incorrect entries.

Accessing the screen

Follow the menu path PIM & Catalog › Operation › Price threshold. If you do not see it in the menu, your account does not have permission for this screen.

The Approve and Delete buttons and row selection checkboxes appear only for accounts authorized to modify definitions. If you do not see them, you can only view the list.

Screen sections

  1. Page title Price threshold, description, and on the right, Start time and End time fields.
  2. Filter card: Created date range and Barcode field; below are Clear and Filter buttons.
  3. List card: Per page selector, "Filter result: … records" count, refresh icon, Columns menu, table, and pagination. When a row is selected, a bulk action bar appears above the table.
  4. Below the list, an information note explains the list scope: it shows only rows awaiting decision, and if no date range is given, all pending records are listed.

Filtering and searching

Field Purpose Tip
Created date Filters by the date range when the record was created. You can select one or both dates. If no date is given, all pending records are listed.
Barcode Retrieves records for a specific barcode.
Start time Narrows the range by adding time to the start day. Located in the header. You must first select a date and press Filter; until then, it is inactive and shows "Select date and filter first." below.
End time Adds time to the end day. The selected minute is included in the range. Cannot be used without applying the end day.

How it works:

  • Changes to Created date and Barcode apply when you press the Filter button or press Enter in a field. If there are unapplied changes, Filter is highlighted.
  • Changes to Start time and End time refresh the list immediately; no need to press Filter.
  • If no time is given, records from the start of the start day to the end of the end day are retrieved.
  • Clearing a date (or pressing Clear) also clears the associated time.

List

The list shows rows awaiting decision; rejected records do not appear.

Column Meaning
Barcode Upper row shows barcode, lower row shows variant code. Clicking the barcode opens the product detail page. This column cannot be hidden.
Catalog The catalog to which the price change belongs.
Sale price The product's current sale price.
Target price The new sale price to be applied if approved (bold).
Exchange The percentage difference of the target price compared to the sale price. Increase is shown in green with a "+" sign, decrease in red. If sale price is missing or zero, shows "—".
Increase threshold The defined increase threshold value for this record.
Decrease threshold The defined decrease threshold value for this record.
Increase threshold category The category from which the increase threshold originates; clicking opens category details. Hidden by default.
Decrease threshold category The category from which the decrease threshold originates; clicking opens category details. Hidden by default.
Created The date and time the record was created.
  • You can show hidden columns from the Columns menu; preferences are saved in your browser. Threshold category columns may be empty in some setups.
  • Use the Per page selector to show 25, 50, or 100 records per page. Default is 25.
  • Sorting by column headers is not supported in this list.
  • Clicking a row does not open details; access product details via the link in the Barcode column.
  • If authorized, green Approve (check mark) and red Delete (trash can) icons appear at the end of each row.

Actions

Approving a single row

Use when you are sure the target price is correct.

  1. Click the green Approve icon at the end of the row.
  2. The Approve price change window opens: "The target price of the selected 1 row will be sent to the source service and records will be approved." and below, "This action cannot be undone. If sending fails, records remain unchanged." warning appears.
  3. Click Approve; to cancel, select Cancel.

If successful, a "Price change approved." notification appears, the window closes, and the list refreshes. If the target price cannot be sent, a red Something went wrong notification with error details appears, and the record remains unapproved in the list. The Approve button in the window is disabled during processing; no need to click twice.

Approving multiple rows together

  1. Check the boxes at the start of the rows you want to approve.
  2. A bar appears above the table showing "… records selected." Click the Approve button on this bar.
  3. Verify the number of rows to be sent in the window and click Approve.

The result is the same as for a single row. Selection resets when you change filters or pages; you can also clear selection manually with Clear selection. Selection does not clear automatically after approval; before a new bulk approval, check the selected count on the bar or click Clear selection.

Deleting a row

Use if the price change is incorrect and should not be applied.

  1. Click the red Delete icon at the end of the row.
  2. In the Remove row window, read the message "This price threshold record will be deleted. This action cannot be undone."
  3. Click Delete.

If successful, a "Record deleted." notification appears, the window closes, and the list refreshes. If deletion fails, a red Something went wrong notification appears. Deletion cannot be done in bulk; each row must be deleted separately.

Approval and deletion cannot be undone. Especially before bulk approval, check the Exchange column; an unexpectedly large difference may indicate an erroneous price entry.

Common situations

  • I do not see the Approve and Delete icons. Your account does not have permission to make changes on this screen; you can only view the list.
  • Time fields are inactive. Time can only be added to an applied date. Select a day in Created date and press Filter; then the time fields become active.
  • I approved but got a red error. The target price could not be sent; the record remains unapproved and in the list. Check the notification message and try again; if it persists, contact your system administrator.
  • Threshold category columns are empty. These columns may not be populated in some setups; this is not an error.
  • Instead of the list, I see a "Something went wrong" message. The list could not be loaded. Press Retry; if it persists, report to your system administrator with the text under Technical detail.
  • I want to see old pending records too. Leave the date filter empty; the list will show all pending records without date limits.
  • I see a "Price threshold service not configured" message. Price threshold setup is incomplete in this workspace. Retrying will not help; contact your system administrator for setup.
