User's Authorization Level |
Description |
|
Plan |
This is the lowest level of price authorization. All price changes or updates to a price are assigned to Plan status until a user with a Review or Active pricing authorization level approves the price. A user who is assigned this pricing authorization level cannot view any price authorizations in Price Change Authorize. |
|
Review |
This is the middle level of price authorization. All price changes or updates to a price can be assigned to Plan or Review status until a user with an Active pricing authorization level approves the price to the Active status. A user who is assigned this pricing authorization level can view all pending price authorizations in Price Change Authorize that are at the Plan status. |
|
Active |
This is the highest level of price authorization. All price changes or updates to a price can be assigned to Plan, Review, or Active status. A user who is assigned this pricing authorization level can view all pending price authorizations in Price Change Authorize that are at the Plan or Review status. |
Note Only Active records are used to automatically assign pricing to customer orders. If a user who has Plan authority updates an Active record, the record will become inactive (it goes back to the Plan level).
