Populate the Price Cache
Before this list can be used in the system, you must create the Price Cache for it.
Click the Populate Cache button to create the Price Cache for this list.
The first thing that this does is removes any existing Cached Prices for this Price List.
It will then search the Products and Services list for items that meet the highest Priority Criteria below, then calculate the new price based on the Expression.
If you leave Only Products Covered By Rules unchecked, then an item that does not meet any of the listed criteria will be added to the Price List with its default price.
Results
In the Cache tab you can see the results of Populating the Cache. Since the Only Products Covered By Rules box is checked, other products don't appear in the list.
If we were to uncheck that box, all items are added to the cache, but only the ones that meet the criteria are given special pricing - all others are left with their original prices.
