Items with price lock grid and manual price lock
It is possible to block the addition of an item to a promotion at the level of selected (or all) stores, teams or profiles. If price lock overlap present date or start date of promotion adding it to the offer is blocked. Price lock is supported only in offers where item lists on item level are used and only in promotion price offers. The lock time is determined by the ‘Locked from’ and ‘Locked to’ dates. 'Locked to' date must be after or the same as locked from date. In addition, past dates cannot be entered in the modal when a user creates new price lock, but they can be in the past once a user decides to edit them.
When a user tries to add a locked item to a promotion, an information is displayed about how many items have not been added due to the price lock. If the price lock period no longer applies, it is necessary to manually re-add items to the promotion by editing the item list, importing items by Excel file or importing items by third party. To be able to add, edit or delete price locks, a user needs 'manage price locks' permission which depends on 'view promotion' permission. If a user does not have permission to manage price locks but has access to the store/team/profile, locked items are visible in the grid but only in read mode. Offer group item that has not been added to the offer because of the price lock is exported to 3rd party with the status deleted.

Offline item lists | Changing the item list in the Promotion module when there is no connection to the Item Service (RTC-41204) If the user want to edit item list through user interface but there is no connection with Item Service, the user receives a message in the red bar.
