Buy and Receive Products for Aggregate Discounts

When you add the components to an aggregate discount, you specify whether items are buy or receive products:

• Buy products. To qualify for the aggregate discount, the customer must buy at least the specified quantity of all the Buy products in the list. The Buy products themselves may be discounted if the customer qualifies for the aggregate discount.
• Receive products. The Receive products are discounted if the customer qualifies for an aggregate discount. There is no requirement to buy a specific number of Receive products.

Some examples of Buy and Receive products in aggregate discounts are as follows:

• If you buy a certain model of desk, then you get 50 percent off on a certain model of ergonomic chair. (The desk is a Buy product with a quantity of 1 and no price adjustment. The chair is a Receive product with a quantity of 1 and a price adjustment of 50 percent discount.)
• If you buy 10 desks, then you get 10 percent off on the desks and 50 percent off on the ergonomic chairs for them. (The desk is a Buy product with a quantity of 10 and a price adjustment of 10 percent discount. The chair is a Receive product with a quantity of 10 and a price adjustment of 50 percent discount.)
• If you buy 10 desks, then you get 10 percent off on the desks and 50 percent off on any model of desk chair for them. (The desk is a Buy product with a quantity of 10 and a price adjustment of 10 percent discount. Each model of desk chair is a Receive product with a quantity of 10 and a price adjustment of 50 percent discount.)
• If you buy 10 desks, then you get 10 percent off on the desks. (The desk is a Buy product with a quantity of 10 and a price adjustment of 10 percent discount. There is no Receive product.)

NOTE:  The Buy product quantity is a minimum and the Receive product quantity is a maximum. For example, the bundling discount says that if you buy 10 desks, then you get 50 percent off on 10 ergonomic chairs for them. You must then buy a minimum of 10 desks to get the discount, and you can get a discount on a maximum of 10 chairs. This prevents a customer from buying 10 desks in order to get a discount on thousands of chairs.
