What price management covers
Price management is the housekeeping of pricing: the list price for every part, the customer-specific prices on top, the rules that derive one from the other, who may change what, and the record of every change. Most distributors run this across the ERP, a spreadsheet and someone's memory. Elastly puts it in one workspace that reads from and writes to the ERP.
What is managed where
The ERP remains the system of record. Elastly is where prices are decided and reviewed before they are written back. It starts with the prices themselves.
Catalog prices
Each part's price lives in the pricing workspace with the decision behind it, and is written to ERP price levels and store price lists.
Customer prices
Learned tolerance per account, and overrides with a start and an expiry for agreed prices.
Rules and changes
Then how prices are derived, and when they change.
Rules
The strategy builder holds scope, priority, guardrails and rollout, so a rule is written once and applied everywhere it belongs.
Scheduled changes
Stage a repricing with a go-live date, read the diff, and let it land in the ERP and stores on the day.
The audit trail
Every price Elastly sets or a user changes is a decision with its inputs, the policy in force, who approved it and when it was written back. The decision inspector lets you open any line from any month and see exactly what the engine knew. The audit log records every change to policy, strategies and overrides by user.
Roles limit who sees cost and margin and who can publish. A rep can see the price and its reasons; the pricing manager can see the margin and change the policy.
Approvals
One queue for quotes, strategies and policy changes that need a second pair of eyes, with the reasons attached.
Pricing control center
One screen for what is live, what is scheduled, what is waiting for approval and what the engine is not confident about. It is where a pricing manager starts the week.
