Scenario for Using Edit Promotion Product Selection

This topic gives one example of how Edit Promotion product selection might be used. You might use Edit Promotion product selection differently, depending on your business model.

At design time, a product administrator creates one product line named Blackberry and another product line named Smartphones. Next, the administrator creates a new product named Blackberry Bold. The administrator adds the Blackberry Bold product to the Blackberry product line as the primary product line. The administrator then adds the Blackberry Bold product to the Smartphones product line.

Next, the administrator creates a bundled promotion named Blackberry Promotion Primary. To this bundled promotion, the administrator adds the Blackberry product line as an aggregate component. Then the administrator creates another bundled promotion named Blackberry Promotion Nonprimary. To this bundled promotion, the administrator adds the Smartphones product line as an aggregate component.

At run time, a sales representative creates a sales order or quote and adds the Blackberry Promotion Primary bundled promotion as a line item. With the Blackberry Promotion Primary line selected, the sales representative clicks Edit Promotion. In the Edit Promotion view, the sales representative clicks Add. Because Blackberry is the primary product line for the Blackberry Bold product, Blackberry Bold is selectable.

The sales representative then creates another sales order or quote and adds the Blackberry Promotion Nonprimary bundled promotion as a line item. With the Blackberry Promotion Nonprimary line selected, the sales representative clicks Edit Promotion. In the Edit Promotion view, the sales representative clicks Add. Depending on the setting of the CompProdLn Multi Value Search user property, one of the following behaviors occurs:

• If the value of the CompProdLn Multi Value Search user property is set to N, then the Blackberry Bold product is not selectable in the Edit Promotion view when configuring the bundled promotion. This is because Smartphones is not the primary product line for the Blackberry Bold product.
• If the value of the CompProdLn Multi Value Search user property is set to Y, then the Blackberry Bold product is selectable in the Edit Promotion view when configuring the bundled promotion, even though Smartphones is not the primary product line for the Blackberry Bold product. This is because the selection is not limited to primary product line products.
