PSP Override Module | Pricefx Knowledge Base

The Override module allows you to create custom price behavior that does not follow the default rules.

Visible Elements

Visible elements that the Override module creates are Override Price, Override Reason, Price Selector, and Exceptions. These elements override the calculated prices.

Element name	Label	Parent PL/PG	Dependent PL/PG	Description
PriceSelector	Price Selector	Yes	Yes	Dropdown list of calculated prices to choose from.
ManualPrice	Override Price	Yes	Yes	To enter a price manually.
ManualPriceReason	Override Reason	Yes	Yes	To enter a comment manually.
Exceptions	Exceptions	Yes	Yes	Information about the override values (if any).

Override Mechanism

Depending on the Override level configuration, the user can override a product price or a product strategy in different ways. The Price Selector element contains the calculated prices based on specified strategies and exception values.

To set up a strategy, see StrategyDefinition CP.
For a list of built-in calculation engines, see Calculation Engines.
To specify the strategies used to calculate the price for an SKU, see Exceptions and Manual Override Allowance Config (PriceSettingConfig) and Strategy Selection Lookup.

Type	Usage	Current line (Manual override)	Configuration tables (Exception table)	Both	None

Some levels of this hierarchy can be skipped by changing the Manual Override Allowance configuration. For example, when setting the Parent Manual Override for a price to "ExceptionTable", it will disable the Manual Price Override from this hierarchy.
