# Change a price

Replace an offer with a new one and new dates, so proposals keep the price they were made with.

Outcome: the new price is on a new Active offer, the old offer carries its end date, and deals that proposed the old offer still point at it.

## Why not edit the price

Price* on an offer is the list price that past proposals saw. The CRM reads it through the Offer mirror as Offer (Price) beside the negotiated Deal.Value*. Editing Price* in place silently changes what older deals appear to have proposed. The field description says: create a new offer with new dates instead.

## Steps

1. Open **Data** → **Offer** → **Catalog** and find the current offer.
2. Open **Step 1 - Name product and seller** and create a new Draft offer with the same **Product***, **Seller***, **Price Currency*** and **Unit***, and the new **Price***.
3. Set **Valid From°** on the new offer to the first day of the new price.
4. Set **Valid Through°** on the old offer to the day before.
5. Type the new **Name*** with the new price, for example `Example Program - 2000/month`.
6. Link the same **Price List°**, or a new list if the whole list changes; see [Manage price lists](/systems/products/manage-price-lists).
7. When **Offer Check** is blank, set the new offer to Active.
8. Set the old offer to Archived once sellers should stop proposing it. Do not delete it.

## Success and recovery

Success: the product's **Offers** column lists both offers; the new one is Active and the old one has Valid Through° and Archived. Open deals in the CRM keep their link to the old offer; a seller relinks a deal in the CRM only if the proposal itself changes.

Archiving does not hide an offer from every picker: whether archived offers still reach the CRM mirror depends on the sync configuration; check it in the CRM's sync settings. If you set the wrong date, correct it; the dates are plain values and nothing else depends on them automatically.
