The current price list is used when price lists are employed as it determines which price list is used for catalog and order pricing operations. Price lists also determine the pricing locale. Prices within a price list can be inherited from other price lists. Price lists can also set volume pricing and time-based prices for products or SKUs. Note that price lists themselves can be time-based. For detailed information on price lists, refer to the Core Commerce Programming Guide.
The CSRConfigurtor has a property called usingPriceLists, which must be set to true when the application is using price lists.

The agent can manually select a different price list using the UI. Once an agent has explicitly selected a price list, that price list remains active even if a new customer with a different assigned price list is selected from the repository. Starting a new call will also reset the current price list and remove the agent’s explicitly selected price list
