# createPriceListEntry

mutation · in the family [Price list entry](/reference/price-list-entry/)

## What it does

Create a new one price on a price list — a variant’s price in a currency at your organization.

Create a PriceListEntry — the splice insert.

## Who may call it

Capability area: **Pricing** — Prices, price schedules, promotions, coupons and the money rules of selling.

- Owner
- Manager
- An API key whose scope allows `api:createPriceListEntry`

## Arguments

| Name | Type | Required | Notes |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `input` | [NewPriceListEntryInput](/types/NewPriceListEntryInput/) `NewPriceListEntryInput!` | yes | No further notes. |

## Returns

[PriceListEntry](/types/PriceListEntry/) `PriceListEntry!` — A PriceListEntry — ONE effective-dated price window per (list × single-axis merch target): the FOURTH DATED_SCHEDULE family (SalePrice → TaxRate → FxRate → this). List-parented (parentId = the PriceList ≠ rootId — the schedule dies with its list at purge). Windows are half-open \[startAt, endAt) with endAt ALWAYS present (far-future = the standing price); no past starts; absent startAt = effective NOW (server-stamped). Inserts are splice-normalized per (list × targetKind × targetId) — classifySplice VERBATIM: a start falling STRICTLY inside the immediately-preceding window auto-TRIMS it (the ONE sanctioned in-place mutation — revisioned + evented); overlap with ANY OTHER record refuses CONFLICT/LIST_PRICE_WINDOW_OVERLAP naming the blockers (the family's OWN error row — the errors registry's ratified minting law). ≤1 EFFECTIVE entry per key at any instant BY the splice invariant — no uniqueness marker. Doom cancels a not-yet-effective FUTURE record only (an effective/lapsed record is IMMUTABLE price history — CONFLICT/IMMUTABLE; supersede it). The TARGET is a flag-discriminated SINGLE-axis ref (the commission-tuple class): variant | category | brand | division — category matches the SUBTREE rooted at the target (deepest node wins); IMMUTABLE with the window. The VALUE: fixed (house MoneyEntry) · percent_off_rrp (ppm off the Product's rrp entry in the ORDER currency) · cost_plus (ppm over the II's system-maintained wmaCost) — rounding half-away-from-zero; at capture a currency mismatch / absent basis / result ≤ 0 / unconvertible value FALLS THROUGH to the next plane; IMMUTABLE with the window (a renegotiated price is a NEW window — price history is fact). The edit surface is caption ONLY. ≤ 500 live entries per list (the create gate). NOT searchable (the SalePrice schedule-row class — reached via its list).

## Errors this call can answer

- `VALIDATION/INVALID` — Something in the request is not valid. ([VALIDATION](/errors/VALIDATION/))
- `AUTHN/REQUIRED` — Sign in to do this. ([AUTHN](/errors/AUTHN/))
- `AUTHZ/FORBIDDEN` — Your role does not allow this action. ([AUTHZ](/errors/AUTHZ/))
- `RATE_LIMIT/THROTTLED` — Too many requests in a short time. ([RATE_LIMIT](/errors/RATE_LIMIT/))
- `NOT_FOUND/*` — That record could not be found. ([NOT_FOUND](/errors/NOT_FOUND/))
- `CONFLICT/*` — The record’s state, or a change made in the meantime, does not allow this; the codes are on the CONFLICT page. ([CONFLICT](/errors/CONFLICT/))
- `VALIDATION/VERSION_REQUIRED` — The request did not say which app version it came from. ([VALIDATION](/errors/VALIDATION/))

## Dry run

Add `dryRun: true` to the request envelope (`extensions.at`) to rehearse this call: every check runs, the write is rehearsed against the current records and nothing is stored; the answer is the refusal a real call would give, or the record it would create. Every response to a rehearsal carries `dryRun: true`, so a rehearsed record is never mistaken for a saved one.
