Wholesale price management for reseller opportunities
Moderate Upgrade
Release state: General Availability (GA)

Marketplace Managers (MM), Reseller Managers (RM), and Sales Support Representatives (SSR) can now view and override wholesale prices on a per-product basis, while MMs and SSRs gain visibility into vendor costs for margin-aware pricing decisions.
The feature supports both Indirect and Direct billing relationships, with role-specific and billing-specific UI adjustments.
Prerequisites
- Set custom prices on opportunities must be enabled.
- Vendor cost feature must be enabled.
