Future price update should be reflected on e-Config

We see quite many price increase or decrease announcements with future effective date, but e-Config always output the price as of today. We want to have some mechanism in e-Config to specify the "as of date" in order to reflect the updated future price information. This will dramatically decrease the seller's workload to manually adjust the proposed price and avoid any human error. This idea should be pervasive to any IBM products.

    The CAAC has reviewed this IBM Idea and recommends that IBM not implement request.

    This is a Partner World concern and not one of the general IBM i community.

    Background: The COMMON Americas Advisory Council, (CAAC) members have a broad range of experience in working the small ans medium-sized IBM i customers. CAAC has a key role in working with working with IBM i development to help assess the value and impact of individual IBM Ideas of the broader IBM i community and has, therefore reviewed the idea.
