Add your own customer price group
Customer Price Group is a predefined price type that should be matched with a specific sale code. Options available to marketers are predefined as: Customer, Partner, and Distributor.
As a developer, you can add items to that list, to make your own customer price group available in the drop-down.
Populate the list by adding the code in the example below, and call that from your initialization module.
private void AddVIPCustomerPriceGroup()
{
var metaFieldType = DataContext.Current.MetaModel.RegisteredTypes["ContactGroup"];
var metaEnumItems = MetaEnum.GetItems(metaFieldType);
var hasVIPGroup = metaEnumItems.Any(item => string.Equals(item.Name, "VIP", StringComparison.InvariantCultureIgnoreCase));
if (!hasVIPGroup)
{
var lastIndex = metaEnumItems.Count();
MetaEnum.AddItem(metaFieldType, "VIP", ++lastIndex);
}
}
