Changing a price adjustment
A percentage price adjustment can only be changed on categories that already have a price adjustment applied to them.
To apply a price adjustment to a category that does not a have a price adjustment applied to it, select the category to sell in the store. You can update the contract product and pricing terms and conditions without creating a new version of a contract by selecting Update Catalog Filter from the contracts list.
You cannot set a price adjustment or a fixed price in a customer contract that will offer a higher price to the customer than is set in the base contract. For example, you cannot set +20% adjustment to Category A when the base contract has -30% adjustment to Category A. However, you can change to a -40% because that offers a lower price to the customer. Similarly, you cannot set $20.00 fixed price to Product B when the base contract has a $10.00 fixed price for Product B. However, you can change the customer's price to be $30.00. If the base contract has a fixed price for Product C, then you may only set a fixed price in the customer contract for Product C.

- To adjust a price by percentage, such as setting a book to 10% off:
- Select the Percentage adjustment radio button.
- Type the percentage in the field below the radio button.
- select either Markup or Markdown to indicate whether this adjustment is a increase in price or a discount

What to do next
If a category's location has been changed in the catalog asset store, resellers must cancel the category's settings, save the changes, then set the product and SKU adjustment again using the Catalog Filter, to ensure that there is no change in price or availability in reseller products or SKUs. Resellers must also do the same for any subcategories within the changed category.
