Exclude products from automatic repricing

exclude products from automatic repricing business goal protect products that require a fixed regular price by setting them as locked products, so the optimization algorithm does not generate new regular prices for them prerequisites open price management docid\ rs0z8lfkdpage86wko0qc and select the category or top level that contains the products to exclude confirm that the products have an approved baseline current price before locking them have permission to manage product level pricing settings step by step instructions step 1 open the locked products workspace on the 'price management/category top level tab product architecture' screen, select the required category scope and click locked products to open the workspace for managing exclusions from automatic regular repricing business reason working at the right category scope prevents unintended exclusions across the wider assortment open the locked products workspace step 2 identify products that need fixed pricing in the locked products workspace, find and select the products whose regular price must remain fixed, such as strategically controlled, regulated, or operationally sensitive products business reason a locked product is excluded from automatic regular repricing, allowing the remaining assortment to continue receiving algorithmic new regular prices step 3 apply the locked product status confirm the selected products to apply the locked product status, then verify that they appear in the locked products list for the selected scope business reason the products' baseline price will stay fixed until manually changed, rather than being recalculated by the optimization algorithm step 4 review exclusions before export review the locked list periodically and remove the locked product status when a product is ready to return to automatic regular repricing business reason keeping exclusions limited preserves the optimization algorithm’s coverage and avoids maintaining unnecessary fixed prices you're done when the intended products are visible in locked products for the selected category scope those products no longer receive automatic new regular prices their baseline price remains fixed until it is manually changed or the locked product status is removed pro tips use a locked product for a sustained exclusion; use a manual price only when an operator set price is specifically required check whether a product belongs to a family before locking it, because fixed pricing can affect the family ratio and relative pricing consistency review locked products after assortment, cost, or competitive position changes to return eligible products to the optimization algorithm
