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.

Système et méthode permettant d'établir un délai retardant l'accès des caisses de sortie aux nouveaux prix, tels que modifiés et affichés par des étiquettes de prix électroniques (EPE), ce qui permet de réduire le temps système requis pour que le serveur procède au changement de prix. La méthode consiste à : emmagasiner un premier temps associé avec la modification de prix affichée par l'EPE; créer un fichier de modification de prix contenant un délai et permettant de remplacer le premier prix par le second; lire le fichier de modification de prix pour obtenir la période de délai; déterminer si le temps actuel est postérieur au premier temps additionné au délai; exécuter le fichier de modification de prix si le temps actuel est postérieur au premier temps additionné au délai, afin de remplacer le premier prix par le second.
