Live Price Grids

A Live Price Grid (LPG) is used when you need to handle a large number of products with rapidly changing prices, e.g. in an e-shop. In LPG prices are recalculated every day or even several times a day – this is a direct contrast to Price Lists which are calculated only once (see a detailed comparison of price grids and price lists).

A Live Price Grid:

Is a collection of products to which a Pricing Scheme has been applied.
Contains dynamic data and each row (product) in the grid can be updated at any given time (manually, in Excel Client or via integration). This way it is possible to manage the price of a large number of products with rapidly changing underlying data upon which the price depends (Company Parameters and Product Extensions).
Includes auto-approval of prices and approval workflow and offers a data-rich user interface in order to allow the seller/product manager to make an informed and rapid decision.

LPGs are organized in a tree view. Here you can create a new LPG or open, copy and export to Excel or PDF the existing ones.

When you delete a Live Price Grid, the delete operation does not immediately remove all the line items and metadata associated with the Live Price Grid. A background job is run to wipe all these items and the whole process can take up to an hour.
