Glossary

Action

The terminal node of a workflow, where price changes are written for the products that reach it. Actions can include guardrails (e.g. a margin floor).

Attribute

A data field on a product: unit cost, competitor price, MSRP, brand, or any field you define. Attributes power cost-pegged rules, workflow logic, and grid columns.

Attribution

The audit record behind every price change: its source (a workflow, Manual, or External sync), the person, the action, and when it took effect.

Decision

A workflow node that routes products down different branches toward different treatment.

Decision path

The recorded route a product took through a workflow — which decisions it passed and which action priced it. Shown in the Review grid.

Default list

The protected price list serving customers not mapped to any tier. It cannot be deleted.

External sync

The source label for a price change that arrived from your ERP via reconciliation rather than being made in Resolve.

Family head

The product whose price a product family follows. Marked with a crown.

Family member

A product locked to its family head's price. Marked with a lock.

Fixed addition

A rule type: price = cost + a set amount. Cost-pegged.

Fixed price

A rule type: price is exactly the stated number, unaffected by cost changes.

Hierarchy

The level structure organising products (e.g. Category → Line → Product). Rules on a level inherit to everything beneath it.

Impact assessment

The measurement of a scenario's changes against the last twelve months of actual sales, before publish.

Inheritance

The cascade by which a rule on a hierarchy level prices all products beneath it, unless a more specific rule overrides.

Live

The book of record: the current real prices. Read-only; changes reach it only by publishing a scenario (or by ERP reconciliation).

Markup

A rule type: price = cost × a coefficient. Cost-pegged.

Not offered

A rule marking a product as not for sale in a scope, blocking inherited coverage there.

Price CSV

The export of specific prices for your POS or ERP, produced by Export prices.

Price Display Preference

The global setting choosing whether the app presents prices, margins, or markups. Presentation only.

Price list

A customer tier with its own prices. Every customer maps to one; every rule targets one.

Product family

A group of products that must carry the same price within each location, across all price lists. See family head / member.

Publish

The atomic step copying a scenario's changes onto Live. Adds and overwrites; never clears untouched Live rules.

Reconciliation

The inbound convergence of Resolve's Live rules on an ERP-exported price book, within the territory the file asserts.

Rule

The unit of pricing: markup, fixed addition, or fixed price (or not offered), scoped to a product or hierarchy group × location × price list, effective from a stated time.

Scenario

A draft workspace for pricing changes, isolated from Live until published.

Scheduled price

A rule with a future valid-from date, visible in advance and effective automatically at its time.

Trigger

The first node of a workflow, defining which product × location rows are in scope for the run.

Valid from

The moment a rule takes effect. Minute precision.

Workflow

A decision tree (Trigger → Decisions → Actions) that prices a population of products in a repeatable, audited run.
