Batch Priority Management is used to set price priorities when a product or a group of products have two or more sets of price changes during a set time period.  The priority one (1) prices take priority and will go into effect during the Start and End dates.  Then priority two (2) prices go into effect once the time period for the priority one pricing has ended. (On a Product Batch the priority is only considered if two batches are applied on the same day.) The process continues until all price changes have expired, at which time the normal pricing will go back into effect.
