Crazy SCA question: Our order flow is heavily project based but not 100%. Right now when a customer orders we ask them what project they are ordering for and it loads their price into the order via a custom script I made. Would anyone suggest an approach on how to do this same thing in SCA. We would like the customer to browse the site with those prices as well so we'd ask them at login if they are ordering for a specific project and then adjust all pricing as such

if you do not have several different type of “prices” you could use price levels. You can set up to a maximum of 1000 price levels.
you could also use item pricing feature if you need more flexibility

Thanks @Flo Yes we definitely use price levels and that pulls up correctly from the customer record. The problem I'm facing is more that we created a custom record that holds project price levels on the transaction if they are ordering for that project. If they are ordering for the project and tell the CSR then the project is select and this then overrides the customer set price levels with the project pricing. How would I replicate this functionality not just in checkout but also in PDP and PLP?
The reason we do it like this is because we negotiate pricing and get specced on large projects, our customers then come to us and say they are ordering for that project. So they would like the negotiated price instead of their regular price.

I am afraid to say that you will have to use scriptable cart to do that
You could create some kind of “project selector” in MyAccount section so the customer goes there and select which project they are ordering for

@Flo Thank you for the info!
