How do I prevent some products from having their prices updated while still updating stock?

[Rob]

I'd like to set some general rules for all imported products but then have the ability to manually set prices on a subset of the products. Right now I can only find an option to disable an entire product being updated.

This can just be a checkbox/flag on each product that says something like "Ignore pricing rule for this product"

Edit: To expand, if I have no pricing rules set but I have auto update set to daily (for example), it will revert all my custom prices each day.

Edit 2: I don't understand the rounding and assigning cents features:

If price is $3.01, rounding is ON, assign cents is OFF, result is $3. This is expected.
If price is $3,01, rounding is OFF, assign cents is 99, result is $3.99. This is expected.
If price is $3.01, rounding is ON, assign cents is 99, result is $4.99. This is unexpected. Result should be $3.99

Hello Rob, it's better to use pricing formula, because it will save you a lot of time. If you don't want the product to be updated then tick off the update button in Product options and update it manually, it is possible to update either stock or the price.

Thank you for these links but I am aware of these options. I'd prefer a way to automatically keep track of stock while ignoring price. Also having a price rule means I can't set custom sale values because the value gets overwritten.

Any comments regarding this? Am I misunderstanding how these features should work?
