Price Publishing Groups help you group prices for publishing and distribution to the specified customers. Publishing groups are distinguished by the specified default end-of-day effective time for new prices.
You can use Price Publishing Groups to:
- Group prices for publishing.
- Assign a default effective time for the group.
- In order to allow each analyst to publish prices for their areas separately, price groups can be defined by each analyst.
- Separate natural business boundaries, such as geography or business line, so that prices can be set independently
- There is no requirement to have more than one publishing group for a particular channel, if you wish to publish all the prices at once.
A Price Publishing Group can contain prices for only one channel. Prices within a publishing group must be for the same channel. For example, branded and unbranded prices cannot be in the same publishing group.
