When to use it
Reach for the approval workflow after any agent run that produced prices you intend to act on:- A Dynamic Pricing run wrote a new Rules Based Price column.
- A Price Optimization run wrote Optimal Price recommendations.
- You want a deliberate review-and-publish step rather than treating the agent output as final.
Open the review queue
After an agent run completes, open the review queue for that run from the grid. The queue lists every proposed change as one row: the product, its current price, the proposed price, the delta, and the margin impact, so you can judge each change in context.Per-row actions
For each proposed change you can:- Approve - accept the proposed price as-is.
- Reject - discard the proposal; the live price is left unchanged.
- Override - replace the proposed price with a manual price of your own, then approve that.
- Comment - leave a note on a row (why you rejected, what you overrode and why) so the decision is auditable later.
Filter the queue
Use filters to work through a large queue in deliberate passes rather than row by row:- Filter by size of change to focus on the biggest moves first.
- Filter by margin impact to catch changes that push margin the wrong way.
- Filter by product attributes (category, brand, store) to review one segment at a time.
Bulk-approve
Once a filtered set looks right, bulk-approve the whole selection in one action instead of clicking each row. A common pattern: filter to small, in-policy changes, bulk-approve them, then review the large or unusual moves individually.Publish
When your approvals are ready, publish them in one click. Publishing applies the approved prices as the live prices on those products. From that point the new prices flow through the rest of Retailgrid - metrics recompute against them, and they appear in exports and the Public API. Rejected and un-reviewed proposals are not published; only the changes you approved go live.Common pitfalls
- Forgetting to publish - approving a row stages it; nothing goes live until you publish. If prices didn’t change, check whether you published.
- Bulk-approving without a filter - bulk-approve acts on the current selection. Filter first so you only approve the set you actually reviewed.
- Overrides skip the agent’s guardrails - a manual override is your number, not the agent’s. Double-check it against your margin floor before publishing.
