Customer Price Revisions¶
Customer Price Revisions allow users to create price revisions for multiple Orders at the same time, to specify when the price revision will become Active, and to automatically activate the revisions at that time.

Users have the option of searching for Customer Price Revisions using the Query. The search options include Active, Expired, and Pending. These options depend on the Effective On and Expires On dates when creating a Customer Price Revision.
- Active: when a Customer Price Revision has started based on the Effective On date but has not yet expired based on the Expires On date.
- Expired: when a Customer Price Revision has surpassed the Expires On date and is no longer effective.
- Inactive: when a Customer Price Revision has surpassed the Expires On date and is no longer effective with the Active checkbox de-selected.
