Scheduling Automatic Price Updates
To automatically update prices in the Effective Date Pricing SuiteApp, schedule the following script deployments:
-
EDP MR Item Price Update
-
EDP MR Customer Price Update
-
EDP MR Item Category Price Update
-
EDP MR Customer Group Price Update
Do not create new script deployments.
For more information about scheduling script deployments, see the following topics:
You should use the Price Detail Update Search saved search in map/reduce script deployments. This is the saved search provided by the Effective Date Pricing SuiteApp to make sure that the correct price update records are processed.
Using a different saved search may result to the SuiteApp processing different price update records.
If you want to create a new saved search, see Defining a Saved Search. You can refer to the existing Price Detail Update Search for the preferred values.
When you run map/reduce script deployments, your role is automatically set to Administrator. This value cannot be edited.
The scheduled script processes only the records that start or end on the day the script runs. Any unprocessed records from previous days remain unprocessed.
You should run each script daily at midnight in the timezone set up in Company Preferences.
Never schedule or run the EDP MR Item Price Update Starts Today script deployment. Also, never schedule the following script deployments:
-
EDP MR Customer Price Update Starts Today
-
EDP MR Item Category Price Update Starts Today
-
EDP MR Customer Group Price Update Starts Today
For more information about scheduling automatic price updates, see Time Zones.
Time Zones
When creating price updates, the system validates the dates based on the time zone set in the user preference. When applying these updates by running the scheduled script, the system follows the time zone set up in Company Preference.
