Activate or deactivate a price list

A price list can be in either Active status or Inactive status. A price list has an effect on the prices of the items in it only if the price list is in the Active status.

About this task

A pricing organization user can assign a price list that is in the Inactive status to a customer, but that price list will not impact the price applied to the customer's order until it is activated.

A pricing organization user can change the status of a price list in order to activate or deactivate the price list.
