The Advanced tab allows you to configure filters that restrict how promotions are applied to items. Some filters can apply to any promotion type; others apply to only item type promotions.
Advanced filters change whether items are considered when determining whether a particular shopping cart qualifies for a promotion. Filter settings can be changed as part of your Commerce application (see the Qualifier Class chapter of the Commerce Programming Guide for details). Merchandising reads the settings that are in place in your Commerce application and uses those as the default. You can override those settings for individual promotions.
The default setting for all advanced filters is to inherit the Commerce application settings. Once you have selected an override setting for a filter, that setting is used regardless of any changes that are made to the filters in the Commerce application.
Note: Advanced filter settings are included when you import or export promotions. In the import or export file, a blank (null) value indicates that the filter uses the Commerce application setting.
