Blocked Prices
The Blocked Prices list shows the prices the price check is holding back right now – across all marketplaces and sales channels. It is not a history: an item leaves the list by itself as soon as its price passes the check again, is approved, or was accepted by the marketplace.
Opening the page
- Search for Blocked Prices, or
- click the Blocked Prices figure on the Marketplace Card or at a sales channel.
Fields
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Marketplace, Sales Channel, Item No. | Whose price is blocked. |
| Reason | The rule that was broken: below unit cost (red), margin below minimum or deviation too high. |
| Details | The figures behind the block in one sentence. |
| Blocked Price | The price from the price list that the check blocks. |
| Current Price | The price the marketplace keeps meanwhile. 0 when the item never had a price. |
| Currency Code | Currency of the prices. Empty means the local currency. |
| Net Price | The blocked price without VAT – the rules judge this amount. |
| Lowest Price | The lowest net amount that would be sent: the price, or a lower tier. Unit cost and margin are measured against it. |
| Unit Cost | Unit cost of the item in the currency of the price, times the bundle content. |
| Margin % | (lowest price − unit cost) / lowest price. |
| Last Published Price (Net) | The price the marketplace last accepted. |
| Deviation % | How far the blocked price deviates from it. |
| Limit % | The limit the price failed. |
The figures are calculated when the list is shown, with the current unit cost and the current limits of the sales channel.
Actions
| Action | Description |
|---|---|
| Approve Price | Approves the selected prices that are blocked for their deviation. They go out with the next price sync. The approval covers exactly this amount; the next change is checked again. A price below the unit cost or the minimum margin cannot be approved. If the price list has a different price by now, that one is checked anew and the approval is dropped. |
| Calculate Price | Takes the price of the selected items from the price list again and checks it – after you corrected the price list or the limits. Every price sync does this on its own as well. |
| Marketplace Item | Opens the Item Details. |
| Marketplace | Opens the Marketplace Card with the limits of the price check. |
How to resolve a block
- The price in the list is wrong: correct the price list. The next price sync takes the new price and sends it.
- The limit is too tight: adjust it on the Marketplace Card or on the card of the sales channel. The next price sync checks again.
- The deviation is intended, for example a steep price cut: approve the price.
