Pricefx Classic UI is no longer supported. It has been replaced by Pricefx Unity UI.

 

Calculation Flows

The Calculation Flow (CF) is a scheduler where you can schedule tasks – Calculation Flow Logics – to be executed at a certain time. 

The actions which can be scheduled can vary from starting jobs in the system (like starting CFS, Price List or Manual Price List) to updating different domain objects (like Company Parameters tables). An advanced use case is sequencing of actions if you, for instance, need to trigger a Data Load in the UI, wait for it to finish, then start a few CFS calculations and wait for them to finish; and finally start a Price List calculation.

Using Calculation Flow you can start:

  • Calculation of:
    • CFS
    • Price List
    • Manual Price List
    • Live Price Grid
    • Data Load
    • Simulation
    • Rebate record set
  • Quote mass update
  • Price API job
  • Export job (Administration > Export / Import / Archiving)
  • Job to recalculate object references
  • Data archiving task

Note: Calculation flows are typically regular jobs that run quickly. Therefore, there is a 30-minute maximum allowed processing time after which the job is cancelled. You can change the setting in pricefx-config.xml in the cancelProcessingCFInMinutes property.
