Strategy & Pricing
The PS Rule and PS Rule History columns in the main grid now display each strategy step as a clickable link. Clicking a step opens a read-only summary showing exactly how that step sets the price, with options to open it in Strategy Manager or load its saved selection.
Added the ability to exclude individual stores from group price calculations while keeping them in their groups, fixed Mi9 import error reporting to prevent rebuilding from incomplete data, corrected zone pricing for Store Manager groups, and added store/group limits to custom group exports.
Resolved an issue where pricing strategy steps with rounding enabled but no scheme selected could be saved incorrectly, causing the rounding setting to not apply as expected. The editor now prevents saving steps with rounding enabled but no scheme chosen, and correctly interprets existing steps with missing scheme data as having rounding disabled.
The Ace Critical Pricing list now correctly limits checks to Ace-owned SKUs only, preventing non-Ace items from appearing in the list when they would not be priced by the generated strategies.
Imports & POS
Corrected Do it Best stores using Epicor FTP to price from Epicor's replacement cost instead of average cost. This aligns DIB Epicor with all other Epicor import paths and fixes margin calculations that were based on the wrong cost value.
Epicor FTP stores now have access to the "Use Average Cost" option that was previously only available for Compass stores. Both connection types default to Epicor's replacement cost, but can now opt into average cost pricing through the same setting on the Epicor tab.
User Interface
All training video narration has been re-recorded due to changes in the pronunciation dictionary. This ensures consistent and accurate pronunciation of technical terms, product names, and company names throughout the entire training library.
The "How this price was set" window now uses plain-language sentences written for store staff, displays field names as they appear in the grid (like "Awareness Code" instead of "PricingStrategy"), and provides clearer descriptions of Sku Level Exceptions.
Do it Best and True Value stores can now drill down through the taxonomy selection boxes (department, category, subcategory, product group), with selections at higher levels automatically narrowing the choices below. A new menu on each taxonomy box lets users choose how items are labeled—description and number, number only, or description only.
