Specifying Pricing for Product Promotions

All promotions involve giving customers price adjustments on some or all products. For example, a promotion may offer a discount on a table if the customer buys a set that includes the table and four chairs.

Use the Pricing view to define the price adjustments for this promotion. You can define two types of price adjustments:

• Component. Define price adjustments for individual products.
• Aggregate. Define price adjustments for multiple products. There are two types of aggregate rules:
  • Aggregate Conditional Rules. Define rules for all the products in a product class or product line. For example, you could give a 10 percent discount on all digital cameras and a 15 percent discount on all film cameras, if these are two product lines with products that have been included in the promotion.
  • Aggregate Default Rules. Define rules that are applied by default if the line item product does not match any individual product pricing rule or any conditional aggregate pricing rule.
