Pro-A-Motors / Purchasing & pricing

Know which shipping cost supports the price.

Regional pricing gained an explicit cost-fallback order, a shipping workbench and a readiness queue for missing setup.

Find missing regional inputs

  • Inspect severity and the missing-input message.
  • Identify the affected product, region and category in the same row.
  • Use readiness findings to guide source-data maintenance.

What improved

Explain the shipping cost behind a regional price.

The business problem

A price that includes shipping depends on where the order is going and which cost source is available. Missing regional data should be visible before someone relies on a batch of prices.

What we changed

Regional cost sources and missing-input explanations are visible alongside the products that depend on them.

What the team can do now

Pricing staff can locate incomplete setup and understand which available shipping-cost source is supporting a regional price.

Read the actual screen

A missing fallback identifies a setup job.

The readiness queue contains Blocking rows for missing shipping fallbacks. Each row identifies a region, product and category.

What the screen shows

The queue establishes an unresolved input issue. It does not prove that every separate pricing action is blocked by every warning.

What the team does next

Repair the appropriate SKU or category input, check the fallback order and review readiness again before the separate price-generation step.

What the next team receives

Pricing receives either a traceable shipping source or a specific unresolved setup issue.

How the work moves

Follow the work from one decision to the next.

01

Resolve the cost source

Check SKU regional cost, SKU all-region cost, category regional cost, then category all-region cost.

02

Surface the gap

Review missing region assignments and products without a usable shipping fallback.

03

Review before the batch

Correct the relevant source data and inspect readiness before the separate pricing run.

Use the right fallback policy

Regional materialization and customer-specific shipping programs have different fallback rules; do not treat them as interchangeable.

Zero needs an explicit import choice

The import dialog separates zero-cell handling from replacement and category-average updates.

Readiness precedes a separate action

The queue identifies setup problems. Pricing generation and application remain distinct operations.

Existing records are shown as captured. Private identities are covered or outside the crop. No business records were changed for this collection. Implementation history supports behavior beyond the visible screen; a still image is not an end-to-end test or a measured productivity result.
