Summary:
Enable Connect for Web to provide API endpoints for Rate Builder so organizations can access, create, update, and manage rates — including blended rates — in web-based pricing workflows. This would extend the new PP9 Rate Builder functionality to the web experience and help maintain parity with desktop capabilities.
Problem Statement:
Organizations using Connect for Web currently lack API support for Rate Builder functionality introduced in PP9. This creates a gap between desktop and web experiences, limiting teams that need to build or extend web-based pricing workflows. Without these endpoints, users may need to rely on manual workarounds or desktop-only processes, reducing efficiency and making it harder to deliver a consistent pricing workflow across platforms.
Proposed Solution:
Add Rate Builder API endpoints to Connect for Web that allow authorized users and systems to retrieve, create, update, and manage Rate Builder rate data. Include support for standard rates as well as blended rates. Ensure the endpoints align with existing Connect for Web API design patterns, security requirements, and validation rules. The functionality should enable organizations to integrate Rate Builder into web-based pricing workflows while preserving consistency with PP9 desktop behavior.
Benefits:
Improves parity between Connect for Web and PP9 desktop functionality.
Enables organizations to build more complete web-based pricing workflows.
Reduces reliance on manual or desktop-only processes for rate management.
Supports more consistent integrations and a better overall user experience across platforms.
