Hi Anders

Yes, I guess that is the thought - thoug it is not part of the current logic. I can see 100 things going wrong if we change it - so we probably added the field to use in custom priceproviders.

There are these settings that will affect in which order the prices are fetched from DB, cached and in what order the DefaultPriceProvider handles them:

/Globalsettings/Ecom/Price/List/UseCustomOrder = True
/Globalsettings/Ecom/Price/List/CustomOrder = "PricePriority,Id"

But - if you have 2 prices, lets say 100 with priority 2 and 110 with priority 1, I still think the 100 will be returned as it is lower than 110.

Hi Nicolai,

Thanks for the answer - that was also my thought/worries about this.

I am pretty sure that e.g. BC uses priorities, so it will try to find the most specific price for a customer, and in that "group" of prices find the lowest price, so we are really missing the full implementation of the priority field.

BTW It seems like a lot of coding to do by us to implement this behaviour in our own priceprovider, as all it seems to require will be a change like this:

Hi Anders,

If it's getting the lowest price anyway, what does priority matter?

Unless we'd have to save which "price Id" it matched (i.e. Price = $100; PriceID = XmasSpecial as opposed to Price=$100 ; PriceID = PriceAgreement202509), which I don't believe it's done anywhere.

Hi Nuno,

The price priority could the very nice to have, as we have several customers that have a requirement that a customer specific price overrules an "All customers" price even if the price is higher, and here would the price priority field come in handy, as we then just could use the PricePrority-field instead of creating a custom priceprovider.

Best regards, Anders

Hi Anders,

I see, so that really means that a setting to determine how Prices are returned is needed. Meaning, choose between the "Cheapest" or "By Priority" (unless DW always goes by priority, assuming nulls and 0 when only wanting to apply the Cheapest)

Thanks for clarifying it. Usually it's the US customers asking for the weirdest things :P
