Price Books

Price books let you define product prices for a catalog source across different customer tiers and markets. Price books support a hierarchical model, allowing up to three levels of nested child price books under each base price book. Each price book can reference a parent price book, forming a tree structure for pricing catalog sources.

The base price book defines the currency for itself and all its child price books. Child price books inherit this currency and cannot override it.

See the to learn how to create, update, and delete price books for ÃÛ¶¹ÊÓÆµ Commerce Optimizer using the Price Book API.

Key concepts

Term
Description
Price Book
Logical grouping that defines prices for a catalog source; for example, specific region, or customer tier and is used to manage product prices.
Fallback Price Book
The top-most price book in a hierarchy. It has no parent and is the only price book that defines the currency for itself and all its descendant price books.

If no parent is defined during price book creation (through the API), a new fallback price book is created.
Parent Price Book
A higher-level price book from which a child price book can inherit prices if they are not explicitly set in the child.
Hierarchy Depth
Maximum of three levels (Fallback -> Child -> Grandchild)

not enforced at ingestion time.
Currency
Defined for the fallback price book only. Inherited by all child price books.

If currency is not specified during fallback price book creation (through the API) the currency defaults to USD.
Product Price
The specific price assigned to a product (SKU) within a particular price book.
Discounts
Discounts are defined in product price. Not inherited.
