What does the effectivity date for a product's price list entry control?

The effectivity date for a product's price list entry primarily determines whether a product appears in the product list of the cart. This date establishes a timeline within which the pricing is valid. If a product’s price list entry is not effective on the current date, then it will not be available for selection in the cart, essentially controlling its visibility and accessibility for sales.

While there are various factors that can influence promotions or product availability, these aspects are not directly governed by the effectivity date of a price list. For instance, sales volume adjustments, promotional marketing strategies, and regional availability may rely on different criteria or external market factors, but the effectivity date's main role is to regulate the presentation of products in conjunction with their applicable pricing on specific dates. Therefore, the understanding of how effectivity dates operate is crucial in managing product listings effectively and ensuring accurate pricing practices in a sales environment.
