What this page is for
This is one price change's own page: its status, its lines, and the full history of who raised, submitted, approved, rejected, returned or cancelled it. It is where the two-person check on every price happens: one person raises and submits a change, and someone else decides it.
Everyone who can set prices sees this page. Editing and submitting a draft need a role that can set prices; approving, rejecting, returning and cancelling need a role that can approve prices. You cannot approve, reject or return a change you raised yourself unless Approve your own price changes is switched on in Settings; if it refuses you, a notice explains that someone else must decide it.
Each line shows the Item, the price In force now, what it Becomes, the Change in money and as a percentage. A line pricing a modifier answer or a combo's alternative, rather than a variant itself, carries a Supplement tag.
How to…
How to edit a draft
Press Edit draft. Only a draft can be edited; once submitted, its lines are fixed.
How to submit a draft for approval
Press Submit for approval and confirm. The change moves to Awaiting approval, and its lines can no longer be changed; an approver can still Return for changes.
How to approve, reject or return a change
Press Approve price change, Reject or Return for changes, from the approval bar. Rejecting and returning ask for a reason, which the person who raised the change sees. Approving writes the new prices to the list and schedules them for the time shown; it can still be cancelled before then.
How to cancel a scheduled change
Press Cancel price change, give the reason, and confirm. The scheduled prices are withdrawn before they take effect.
Worked examples
Supermarket
Tumaini Supermarket's buyer raises and submits a 40-line change on Retail. The branch manager opens it here, checks a handful of lines against the supplier's new price list, and presses Approve price change. The change reads Scheduled until the time shown, then In force.
Restaurant and bar
The Acacia Grill & Bar's manager raises a change herself and, because Approve your own price changes is off, sees a notice that someone else must decide it. The owner opens it here the next morning and approves it.
