Can you tell us which hooks exactly and what you do exactly?

I just have implemented a feature, that allows to switch the 
delivery-prices of a delivery article based on the total stock of the 
basket and I noticed that I had to also tell the basket to update itself 
and to recalculate the prices internally.

But I used a hook in class.tx_commerce_pi2. Every other thing I tried 
did not work so far.
