Post Dated Price Lists

Note: A price list cannot be created using the import for same day (as you cannot specify time on the import) - this must be set to a date in the future.

The effective date found for price list is the date that the price list will be active from. Price lists that have a future date will be modifiable until the effective date. From the effective date, the most current price list will be active, and won't be found for modification. Price lists can be used for updating a product price from a certain date forward.
