Changing a price adjustment

To change a percentage price adjustment on categories, they must already have a price adjustment that is applied to them. To apply a price adjustment to a category that does not have one applied to it, you must select the category to sell in the store. You can update your contract product and pricing terms and conditions without creating a new version of a contract by selecting Update Catalog Filter from the contracts list.

About this task

You cannot set a price adjustment or a fixed price in a customer contract that offers a higher price than what is set in the base contract. For example, you cannot set +20% adjustment to Category A when the base contract has -30% adjustment to Category A. However, you can change to a -40% because that offers a lower price to the customer. Similarly, you cannot set $20.00 fixed price to Product B when the base contract has a $10.00 fixed price for Product B. However, you can change the customer's price to $30.00. If the base contract has a fixed price for Product C, then you might set a fixed price in the customer contract for Product C.
