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 Core 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.
Filters that apply to condition statements are described in the table that follows.
Filter Name | Description |
|---|---|
Qualified Items (Any promotion) | If true, items that have already acted as qualifiers for any promotion cannot be used to qualify for this promotion. Overriding this allows qualifiers that have already been used for a promotion to be used for this promotion. When you override this filter, you have the option of excluding or including qualified items. For example, if you create a BOGO promotion that discounts any hat purchased by 5%, as well as a Buy X get Y promotion with a 15% discount, both promotions could apply when a hat is added to a shopping cart. |
Discounted Items | If true, items that have already been discounted by any promotion cannot be used to qualify for this promotion. |
Discounted Items | If true, items that have already been discounted by the current promotion cannot used to qualify for this promotion. |
Items on Sale | If true, items that have the On Sale property set to Yes cannot be used to qualify for this promotion. |
Items with Zero Prices | If true, items with a price of $0.00 cannot be used to qualify for this promotion. |
Items with Negative Prices | If true, items with a negative price cannot be used to qualify for this promotion. |
Filters that apply to offer statements are described in the table that follows. Note that these filters apply only to item promotions, and cannot be used with order and shipping promotions.
Filter Name | Description |
|---|---|
Qualified Items | If true, items that have already acted as qualifiers for any promotion cannot be used as targets for this promotion. Overriding this allows qualifiers that have already been used for a promotion to be used for this promotion. When you override this filter, you have the option of excluding or including qualified items. |
Discounted Items | If true, items that have already been discounted by any promotion cannot be a target of this promotion. |
Discounted Items | If true, items that have already been discounted by this promotion cannot be a target of this promotion. |

Items with Zero Prices | If true, items that have a price of $0.00 cannot be a target of this promotion. |
Items with Negative Prices | If true, items that have a price less than $0.00 cannot be a target of this promotion. |
Items with Price Lower than Promotion Price | Applies to fixed-price promotions only. If true, if the item’s price is already less than the price after applying the promotion, that item cannot be a target of this promotion. |
