# Price Approval Queue

> Deciding which cost increases reach the shelf.

**Transactions → Price Approval Queue** (headed **Price Recommendation Queue**)
holds suggested selling-price changes generated when a supplier's cost moved.

Columns: Product Name, **Previous Cost**, **New Cost**, **Cost Shift %**,
**Current Price**, **Recommended Price** and a decision:
**Approve Recommendation** or **Reject Recommendation**.

## Where the recommendation comes from

When a scanned or entered invoice shows a cost different from last time,
PRODUCT\_NAME works out what the price would need to be to hold your margin —
using the product's own margin rule, or the one it inherits from its category —
and never proposes anything below the product's minimum price.

Nothing is applied automatically. The shelf price changes only when you approve.

## Working the queue

**1. Sort by Cost Shift %**

Big moves are where the money is. A 30% jump matters far more than a cent.

**2. Sanity-check the new cost**

A wild recommendation usually means a misread invoice line, not a real
increase — check the source invoice before approving.

**3. Approve or reject**

Approved changes update the selling price. Rejected ones leave the price
alone; the cost change stays recorded either way.

> [!NOTE]
>
> Approving a price here changes it at **every** store, because selling price is
> shared across the business.

## Statuses

`PENDING` waiting on you · `APPROVED` accepted · `REJECTED` declined ·
`APPLIED` the new price is live.

## If you cannot approve

Approving prices is a separate permission from creating purchases. If you can
see the queue but not act on it, ask an owner — see
[Roles and permissions](https://sims-bae272dd.mintlify.site/admin/roles.md).

## Pushing prices to the register

Approving updates the price in PRODUCT\_NAME. To send catalog and price changes
to the POS, use **Publish to POS** on the Products page; the
[Inventory Agent](https://sims-bae272dd.mintlify.site/agent/what-it-is.md) applies them in store.
