Apply a price recommendation to a price group

This article is for operators who can edit price groups in Hub. It shows how to apply the recommended price to a price group, and which checks can stop it.

Before you start

• You need write access to price groups.
• Your account needs access to price recommendations. If you don't see Price recommendations in the menu, your Hub user may not have permission to update the operator.
• Only price groups with a Direct apply path can be applied this way. Other groups stay in the price group editor. See How do I use Pricing benchmarks in Monta Hub? for how recommendations are made.

Apply a recommendation

1. In Hub, open Pricing & Growth and select Price recommendations.
2. On the Price recommendations page, open the recommendation of the price group you want to change.
3. In the side panel that opens, select Review and apply.
4. In the dialog, select the apply button, which shows the change, for example Apply +5.0%.

When you select the apply button, the new price is written to the group. The price group page then shows the new price.

What changes and what stays

The recommendation is applied as a percentage change to the current price of the group, in the currency of the group. Only the per-kWh price changes. Fees, tariffs, tax rates, VAT treatment, name, country and currency stay as they were.

When a group can't be applied

The dialog tells you why a group can't be applied, for example when:

• it is regulated, because those groups change only in the price group editor;
• it no longer uses a single per-kWh price;
• the recommended change is larger than one apply allows (the limit is 25%);
• you don't have permission to change price groups for the operator.

The regulated and price-shape checks use the live price group. The recommended change itself comes from the daily snapshot of the recommendations.

Undo a change

Applying a recommendation does not roll back prices. To undo a change, edit the price group in the price group editor.
