What Price Delta answers

Price Delta compares baseline and current prices to show price increases, decreases, missing prices, invalid prices, threshold exceptions, and estimated weighted impact when a quantity source is available.

Review blockers

  • Missing prices are never treated as zero.
  • Currency differences are flagged; currency conversion is not automatic.
  • Unit and pack-size mismatches are flagged; conversions are not automatic.
  • Duplicate conflicting prices must be resolved before totals are trusted.

Active quote and manufacturer workflows

Active Quote Exposure and Multi-Manufacturer Comparison are higher-value Price Delta modes. They require careful review because quote margin, customer names, approved alternates, and substitution decisions are sensitive.
