How to leverage repricing rules

Repricing rules in AccuTrade automatically adjust vehicle pricing based on Days in Inventory. Use them to maintain consistent pricing without requiring manual updates.

When creating a rule, you can add an optional condition to apply the adjustment only when a vehicle’s Price to Market is above or below a specified percentage. This lets you factor in market conditions alongside time-based triggers.

AccuTrade checks your inventory throughout the day and applies pricing changes when your defined conditions are met.

In this article, you’ll learn how to access the Repricing Rules menu, create and configure a new repricing rule, review repricing history and audit logs, manage your active rules, and apply best practices to help rules behave as intended.

1 Access the Repricing Rules menu

To access repricing rules:

1. Click the Inventory tab.
   
2. Select Repricing Rules from the sub-navigation menu.

Note: You must have the appropriate permissions to create or manage repricing rules. If you do not see the option to add new rules, verify your user permissions in AccuTrade.

2 Create a new repricing rule

• Click + Add New Rule.

Configure the rule using the following fields:

1. Rule Name:
   Enter a descriptive name to identify the rule’s purpose.
   
2. Select Inventory:
   Define which vehicle types (New, Used, CPO) to include. You can also select specific makes, models, and trims to include.
   
3. Scheduled Price Adjustments
   Click + Add Event to add a scheduled price adjustment. For each event, set:
   • When the rule triggers (Example: Day 30 in Inventory)
   • The price adjustment (Example: Price (Retail Sale / Internet List) minus 1%)
   • An optional Condition, if needed (Example: Change only if Price to Market is less than or equal to 98%)
     
4. Duration:
   Choose whether the rule runs for a defined date range or indefinitely.
   
5. Price Guardrails:
   Set pricing boundaries relative to market pricing to prevent adjustments outside acceptable limits (for example, do not allow price to fall below a Price to Market of 90%).

Review and enable the rule:

1. Review the affected vehicle set, which populates on the right side of the screen as you adjust conditions and parameters. Confirm the rule applies only to the intended inventory.
   
2. When configuration is complete, click Save.
   
3. Toggle Enabled to activate the rule.

3 View repricing history and audit log

Each repricing rule includes tracking tools to review its impact and changes.

From within a rule:

1. Click Repricing History to view a log of all vehicles affected by the rule since it was created
   
2. Click Audit Log to see a record of configuration changes made to the rule
   
3. If a rule is no longer needed, click Archive Rule to deactivate it. Archived rules are removed from the active list but remain available for reference.

4 Manage repricing rules

Click Back to List to return to the Repricing Rules menu. From this screen, you can:

1. View rule details
   
2. Enable or disable rules
   
3. Reorder rule priority by clicking and dragging a rule up or down
   
4. View archived rules by selecting the Archive tab

5 Best practices for repricing rules

Use the following guidelines to help ensure repricing rules behave as intended:

Start conservatively
Begin with modest adjustments (1-2%) and lower frequency. You can always make rules more aggressive once you see results.

Use safety limits
Set Price Guardrails to prevent rules from adjusting beyond acceptable ranges. 

Review regularly
Review repricing reports weekly to:

• Verify rules are working as intended
• Identify vehicles requiring manual intervention
• Adjust rule parameters based on market changes
