Automate Pricing only displays active SKUs in your catalog. Your SKU may be inactive due to either being out of stock, or a potential price error.
If your SKU is inactive, it will surface again when the SKU is reactivated (for example, being back in stock).
Your Minimum Price and Your Maximum Price (optional) apply as a safeguard on your price whenever a Minimum and Maximum price are present. If you did not set a maximum price, Automate Pricing will protect customer trust on your behalf by ensuring that your offers are not priced significantly higher than recent prices so that your offers remain eligible to become the Featured Offer (Buy Box).
