Price Cockpit
The workplace of the pricing owner: one row per item and sales channel with everything a decision needs — cost, price, margin, status, competitor price, campaign price, last calculation. Open the cockpit by searching for Price Cockpit or from the merchantCENTRAL dashboard.
The traffic-light status
| Status | Color | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Active | green | Cost basis present, price published — the normal case |
| Rejected | red | The latest calculation failed a safety limit — the old price is still in force |
| No Sales Price | red | Cost basis present but no sales price yet — revenue is being given away here |
| Fixed | yellow | Manually fixed (with expiry date) — the engine waits |
| No Offer | gray | A price exists, but the cost source no longer delivers |
The views
The predefined views answer the morning questions: Rejected · Offer without sales price · Change > 10 % · Below minimum margin · Fixed · No offer.
Actions
| Action | Effect |
|---|---|
| Recalculate Prices | recalculate the selected rows immediately |
| Fix Price / Remove Fix | freeze selected prices until a date (with a reason) — the engine never touches fixed prices on any path |
| Set Promotion Price | place a bounded campaign price (from/to) next to the regular price; after it ends the regular price applies again, and the engine never overwrites running promotions |
| Price Explanation | the calculation waterfall for the selected item |
| Price History | every calculation of the item on this list |
| Open Item | jump to the item card |
The engine speaks up itself
If rejections pile up after a run, a notification with a jump into the rejected log entries appears automatically — set the threshold on the setup card, switch it off via My Notifications.
KPI tiles on the dashboard
On the merchantCENTRAL dashboard the engine shows its key figures with drill-down into the matching list: Items in queue · Rejected today · Calculated today · Changes > 10 % today · Active price fixes · Offers without price · Below minimum margin. The two coverage tiles refresh with every cockpit build.
On the item card, the FactBox Calculated Prices shows price, margin, and status per channel — right where you already are.
