Price Update behavior - trigger hierarchy

Answer

If the Price Update triggers are configured as follows:
#1 - Competitive trigger
#2 -?Cost trigger

A?product undergoes a Cost increase in a given zone. If the Cost increase surpasses the threshold, a price change is recommended.? But what happens if the New Price breaks the competitive rule?? Given that the competitive trigger is first in the hierarchy, would the price change be recommended anyway?

Yes...the New Price might break the competitive rule.? In this case, if there is no competitive price change but only a cost change,?the cost trigger will fire?in Price Update and adjust the price according to the cost change.? This might violate the competitive rule.

The cost trigger is very rigid.? It creates a rule where there is only one price possible, that of the cost trigger -- meaning the same price for lower and upper bound.? By design, triggers are super rules -- above?other rules in the hierarchy, including competitive rules.? If your product does not have a competitive change, but does have a cost change, then the price recommended will be that of the cost trigger.

The trigger hierarchy only takes effect when the products qualify for both trigger types and the higher one will always take precedence.
