Operating
IBM Management Center for WebSphere Commerce
The IBM Management Center for WebSphere Commerce, or Management Center, is a suite of tools to support store management, merchandising, and marketing tasks for business users (Sellers, Marketing Managers, Product Managers, Catalog Managers, and others).
Catalog Filter and Pricing tool
Use the Catalog Filter and Pricing tool in Management Center to create and manage catalog filters, price lists, and price rules. Sellers, Sales Managers, and Account Representatives can use the tool's flexible features to implement catalog filtering and pricing strategies that meet the site's business needs over time.
Working with price rules
A pricing manager creates and manages the price rules that are used for storefront pricing.
Price rule building blocks: actions, conditions, and branches
When you build a price rule using the Price Rule Builder, your building blocks are actions, conditions, and branches. These building blocks are represented as icons, or elements, in the palette. You select elements from the palette and place them in a precise order along a flow that represents the price rule.
Actions in price rules
Actions represent the instructions in a price rule. To include an action in a price rule, drag the action from the palette into the work area of the Price Rule Builder.
Action: Get Price from Price List
Use this action to specify an existing price list to use in the price rule. For example, you can specify the Offer Price list in this action. As a result, the price rule will get prices for catalog entries from the price list you specify.

Introduced in Feature Pack 2

Action: Get Price from Price List

Use this action to specify an existing price list to use in the price rule. For example, you can specify the Offer Price list in this action. As a result, the price rule will get prices for catalog entries from the price list you specify.

For a given path in your price rule, you can use the Get Price from Price List action two ways:

As the only action on the path.
In this case, the price rule will output the price from the price list as is. Here is an example:
As input to other actions on the path.
Use this approach if you want your price rule to adjust the prices in the price list. In this case, you must include another action, such as a Calculate Price action, to the right of the Get Price from Price List action. Here is an example:

Prerequisites for using this action

The price list you want to use must already exist in Management Center so that you can specify it in the Get Price from Price List action. See Working with price lists.

Guidelines for using this action

You can specify only one price list to use. If you want to use more than one price list in a price rule, your price rule must have a branch with multiple paths; each path can use a different price list.
Do not place two Get Price from Price List actions on the same path in a price rule. If you do, the first is ignored in the price rule.
