Features

If you use the native import export tool provided with Magento, the attribute minimal_price is mapped with the field map_price.

Did You Know

An hiding an never completed feature

While working on this project, it appears that Magento already has an attribute with code "minimal_price".
This attribute exists in Magento since forever. It's actually a system attribute which is not visible through the admin panel.
There is also a few method that refers to this attribute, such as:

• \Magento\Catalog\Model\Product::getMinimalPrice (Called in \Magento\Catalog\Pricing\Price\FinalPrice::getMinimalPrice)
• \Magento\Catalog\Model\ResourceModel\Product\Collection::joinMinimalPrice (Never called)

This attribute and methods are not used in the Commerce edition neither.
There is also some trace there: \Magento\CatalogImportExport\Model\Export\Product:

...
'minimal_price' => 'map_price',
'msrp' => 'msrp_price',
'msrp_enabled' => 'map_enabled',
...

This suggests that minimal_price is mapped as "Minimum Advertised Price" (MAP). MAP policies are legal documents brands use to define the lowest legally possible advertised price for a product. It does set the minimum, some penalties may be applied if a seller violates the MAP.

This module updates and reuse this existing attribute in order to give it a true usage.
