PSP Override Module

The Override module allows you to create custom price behavior that does not follow the default rules.

Visible Elements

Visible elements of the Override module are Override Price, Override Reason, Price Selector, and Exceptions. These elements override the calculated prices.

Element name	Label	Parent PL/PG	Dependent PL/PG	Description

Element name	Label	Parent PL/PG	Dependent PL/PG	Description
PriceSelector	Price Selector	Yes	Yes	Dropdown list of calculated prices to choose from.
ManualPrice	Override Price	Yes	Yes	To enter a price manually.
ManualPriceReason	Override Reason	Yes	Yes	To enter a comment manually.
Exceptions	Exceptions	Yes	Yes	Information about the override values (if any).

Override Levels

Changing this configuration adds or hides some visible fields and because of the way Pricefx treats such changes, all used PLs and PGs should be recreated from scratch. Otherwise there will be "zombie columns" which will make the impression that exceptions do not work correctly.

The current line (LineLevel) – Can only set the override values on the current SKU line in PL/PG. The ExceptionTable values are excluded.
Configuration tables (ExceptionTable) – Can only set the override values through the configuration tables. The LineLevel values are excluded.
Both (Yes) – Uses both Current line and Exception tables methods.
None (No) – Override is not allowed.

More details about override levels can be found at Exceptions and Manual Override Allowance Config (PriceSettingConfig).

Override Mechanism

Depending on the Override level configuration, the user can override a product price or a product strategy in different ways. The Price Selector element contains the calculated prices based on specified strategies and exceptional values.

To set up a strategy, see StrategyDefinition PP.
For a list of built-in calculation engines, see Calculation Engines.
To specify the strategies used to calculate the price for an SKU, see and .

Type	Usage	Current line (Manual override)	Configuration tables (Exception table)	Both	None

Type	Usage	Current line (Manual override)	Configuration tables (Exception table)	Both	None
Price	To override an SKU price with a specific price	Type the price in the `Manual Price` field	Set the price in a configuration table	Can do both Current line and Exception tables methods	Override is not allowed
Strategy	To use a specific strategy in the calculated prices as the selected strategy	Select a strategy from the `Price Selector` dropdown list	Set the strategy in a configuration table	Can do both Current line and Exception tables methods	Override is not allowed

Override Order (Highest to Lowest)

Order	Name	Price to calculation	Price Decision	Necessary Action

Order	Name	Price to calculation	Price Decision	Necessary Action
1	Manual Price Override	Price from the Manual Price field	Default comment is inserted if none given. It can be manually overridden.	Type a price in the Manual Price field
2	Manual Strategy Override	Price from PriceSelector	Default exception message with the name of the price strategy chosen in the exception.	Choose a strategy from the PriceSelector drop-down
3	Price Exception	Price from an exception table	Default exception table message.	Set up an exception for the product in table
4	Strategy Exception	Price from the price strategy chosen in the exception	Default exception message with the name of the price strategy chosen in the exception.	Set up an exception for the product in table
5	Normal	Price from the first strategy in the calculated prices (first/bold row in the Prices popup)	Name of the price strategy.	N/A

Some levels of this hierarchy can be skipped by changing the Manual Override Allowance configuration. For example, when setting the Parent Manual Override for a ˇprice to "ExceptionTable", it will disable the Manual Price Override from this hierarchy.

Exception Data Sources

Price Exception

Lookup

Search for records of the current dependency level in the selected source table. If none is found, use the dependency fallback mechanism.
- Details about the dependency fallback mechanism can be found at .
- The selected source table depends on the dependency mapping configuration.
Filter records with current valid time configuration.

Calculation with Price Exception

Convert the exception value currency to the current currency.
- Details about currency conversion can be found at .
The exception value is in the Price Selector element for selection. If this is the default final price or not depends on the level configuration and override orders.

Strategy Exception

Lookup

Search for records of the current dependency level in the selected source table. If none is found, use the dependency fallback mechanism.
- Details about the dependency fallback mechanism can be found at .
- The selected source table depends on the dependency mapping configuration.
Filter records with current valid time configuration.

Calculation with Strategy Exception

The exception value is in the Price Selector element for selection. If this is the default final price or not depends on the level configuration and override orders.
