Pricing Policy Simulations
After you have defined a pricing policy, you can simulate a pricing policy run. This allows you to see the potential results of the pricing policy before you run the Pricing Engine AutoPilot process.

Simulation results reflect only changes since last price change, not the last quarterly price update.
If you are running more than one pricing policy be sure that you have ordered them on the Pricing Policy page.
