Pricing Import and Export

The Pricing grid supports CSV export and update-only CSV import.

CSV import:

• Requires PlatformAdministrator.platform administrator access.
• MatchesCan onlybe validated with a dry run before applying changes.
• Updates matching existing rows in the selected price-list scope.
• Supports dry-run validation.
• Rejects rows whose scope columns do not match the selected scope.only.
• Does not create missing pricing rows.

Planned Behaviour: ACreating future create-missing-rows import mode is listed as backlog once product rules for creating platform cataloguemissing pricing rows from CSV areis defined.a future option and is not part of the current import workflow.

Pricing Thresholds

Tiered pricing is represented through pricing thresholds where enabled. Billing and calculator workflows must respect tiered pricing where the relevant pricing rows and thresholds apply.

Calculator
The calculator letshelps users estimate monthly costcosts from price lists they are allowed to use.
TheUsers choose the available tenant, region, platform, and catalogue items. Tenant users are limited to their own tenant. Partner and distributor users see only tenants in their organisation scope. Platform roles can work across the platform.

If no pricing rows exist for the selected calculator APIscope, returnsthe portal shows a no-pricing message instead of the calculator controls.

Access

Pricing management requires platform administrator access. Calculator access is broader, but users only scopedsee tenants, regions, platforms, and price-list items. The portal uses those scopedpricing options instead of broad entity endpoints.

Role behaviour:


























Role family
Calculator scope
Platform roles
All tenants, regions, and scoped price lists.
Distributor roles
Tenants and pricing under the distributor hierarchy.
Partner roles
Tenants and pricing under the partner hierarchy.
Tenant roles
Own tenant pricing only.

Region tenant access is applied before options and pricing are returned.

Security and Scoping

Pricing mutation routes require PlatformAdministrator. Price-list import matching is scoped by platform, related type, related ID, and pricing type. Display names, categories, descriptions, and row order are not used for import matching.

The calculator is available to alltheir roles,assigned so its API enforces tenant, partner, distributor, region,role and price-organisation.

If a user cannot see a price list visibilityor server-side.calculator option, check the user's role, tenant relationship, region access, and whether pricing exists for the selected scope.
