The Create, Update or Delete PPE/PPELI based on product-detected price changes DPE automatically refreshes partner inventory with every execution, using the latest PUI snapshot. This eliminates grace period delays, provides immediate updates, and helps warnings clear sooner for smoother claim processing. Additionally, the reconciliation process now includes in-transit quantities for more accurate reporting.

Example This example demonstrates two scenarios where a back-dated transaction affects Price
Protection calculations: A back-dated sale that impacts remaining quantity and a back-dated
status change that resolves a warning.
On September 6, a back-dated debit of 20 units (dated September 2) is recorded. When
the Price Protection DPE runs on September 7, the outcome depends on the grace period
configuration.
