Configuring negotiated pricing

To use negotiated pricing, you must have a nominal cost price list that is defined for your store.

Negotiated pricing might exhibit slightly different behavior, depending on the product edition you install.
  • HCL Commerce ProfessionalPrice override limits cannot be set for a CSR. Instead, they are treated as unlimited. A CSR can still override the price and the order is not blocked.
  • HCL Commerce EnterpriseIf a price override limit is not set for the group to which a CSR belongs, that CSR cannot override the price. Otherwise, the CSR can override the price, but the order is blocked if the negotiated price exceeds the limit.
  • If the product edition cannot be determined, an error occurs.
