What this page is for
Every selling price in Tulindo reaches a price list through a price change. One person raises it, and a second person approves it, so no price moves without two pairs of eyes. A change can set one price or ten thousand.
This page lists every price change, newest first. Each row shows:
- Reference: the change's own number, used when you talk about it.
- Price list: the list it prices, such as Retail.
- Source: Manual when someone typed the prices, Derived when they were worked out from another list with Derive prices on that price list's page.
- Lines: how many prices it sets.
- Takes effect: when the new prices start.
- Raised: when it was raised.
- Status: where it is in its life:
| Status | What it means |
|---|---|
| Draft | Being prepared. Only a draft can be edited. |
| Awaiting approval | Submitted. Someone else must approve, reject or return it. |
| Scheduled | Approved; the prices start at the time shown. It can still be cancelled. |
| In force | The prices are now charged. |
| Rejected | Turned down, with a reason. No price was written. |
| Cancelled | Withdrawn before it took effect, with a reason. |
You see this page if your role can set prices. Approving needs a role that can approve prices, and you cannot approve a change you raised yourself unless Approve your own price changes is on in Settings.

Worked examples
Supermarket
Tumaini Supermarket's supplier raises the price of maize meal. On Monday the buyer raises one change on the Retail list with 40 lines, taking effect Thursday at 06:00, and submits it. The branch manager filters by Awaiting approval, opens it, checks the new prices and approves. The row reads Scheduled until Thursday morning, then In force. The buyer then derives the Wholesale list from Retail, which appears here as a second change with source Derived.
Restaurant and bar
The Acacia Grill & Bar raises its cocktail prices by 10% for December. The manager raises the change on the Bar list, using the percentage helper, with Takes effect set to 1 December, 00:00. The owner opens it here and approves it. On 2 January a second change puts the prices back.
