maybe the automated part is the translation from inventory management system to website deployment; not error checking for all possible pricing scenarios... they have loss leaders all the time, so simply pricing something under cost, may not in itself be enough to trigger an alarm, especially if loss leaders need a special code to be input to start with... someone keys in loss leader price, and appropriate code, automated system thinks it's OK to move to website, entry error doesn't get caught until bombarded w/ orders from FW, SD, MRF, etc...
