Abstract

A system and method of delaying availability of a price change to checkout terminals following a change in price displayed by an electronic price label (EPL) which minimizes server overhead required to change prices. The method includes the steps of storing a first time associated with the change in price displayed by the EPL, providing a price change file for changing the first price to the second price and containing a delay period, reading the price change file to obtain the delay period, determining whether a current time is later than the first time plus the delay period, and executing the price change file if the current time is later than the first time plus the delay period to replace the first price with the second price.
