How Do I Track Product Price Changes and Who Approved Them?
You track price changes by turning each change into a request that goes through approval and is saved in the product's history, with date, old price, new price, and approver. On Jestor, this runs through Approvals linked to the product table.
Prices changed directly in a catalog leave no trace. When a customer or a manager asks why a price changed, nobody can say who decided or when.
What untracked price changes cost
- No answer to "who changed this price?"
- Errors reaching the store with no review
- Margin lost to wrong or outdated prices
- Disputes with customers about past prices
How price change tracking works
- A change is submitted as a request with old and new values
- Approvers review it before the price is updated
- Each decision is saved with date and approver
- The product record keeps a full history of prices
Why Jestor fits this use case
- Approval catches mistakes before they reach customers
- A clear history answers questions quickly
- Margin protection improves with controlled changes
- This scales from a few products to a large catalog
| Direct price edits | Approved, logged price changes |
