How to lock a selection's price when you approve it

Vendor list prices move. The number you sold the job on should not. When you approve a selection, Fixture & Finish snapshots that price. Later catalog changes stay visible so you can see the gap. They do not rewrite the job.

Approve, then the number holds

Open the room and click the item. Approve the option you sold. The item will show today's list price next to the locked number. That is on purpose. You can see what the vendor is asking now without losing what the client already signed.

Price history stays on the selection

The selection keeps every price it has carried. Open the history when you need an older number for an approval, and toggle back to it. Today's list price stays visible either way.

How we use this at Foxhall

A Leesburg vanity mirror listed at $1,199. We sold it at $959.20. Both numbers still sit on the item. The locked number is what the job carries.

Frequently asked questions

Does the lock change if the vendor updates the product page?

No. The list price can update. The locked-at-approval number does not.

What if we re-select a different product?

Approve the new option. That approval gets its own lock.

Can I approve on an older price?

Yes. Open the price history on the selection and toggle to the number you need.
