Understanding Live Price Cache

"Live Price Cache Data" shows shows if the web application has cached the price. Each time a customer looks at views a product in on the web site, CSS the system first of all looks at the price cache to see check if a non-expired record exists. If it does, the price will be used. If no cache record exists, CSS will perform a full calculation of the price is performed and then store it stored in the price cache. Using a price cache increased quickens the response time of the website as it prevents recalculation of complex pricing rules do not have to be calculated every time the products are viewed. By default the price cache is set to 60 minutes but this is fully configurable. The Commerce Vision support team can change this setting.

This means that if a price change has been made in PRONTO and it has been integrated to Customer Self Serviceto your Commerce Vision website, it may not be effective yet as the previous price might still be in the cache file. The yellow highlight will show if the cached price is being used as per the above image. 

To clear the pricing cache and force the new pricing to take effect immediately, click the "Clear Pricing Data" button button (Refer See: How do I Reset the Price Cache).
