Work with Promotional Pricing Groups (WPRG)

Purpose: Use the Work with Promotional Pricing Groups function to create and change promotional pricing groups and define the items that the groups include. You can use these groups for:

• Promotional pricing: Allows you to promote one or more incentive items at a special price or at no charge, if a customer orders a promotional item, an item from a promotional group, or a specified dollar amount.

• Free gifts by source code or offer: Allows you to specify a group of items that the customer must purchase to qualify for a free gift.

Promotional pricing: You can use a promotional price group to identify:

• required items: the items that for the customer must order to be eligible for a promotional price incentive, and/or

• incentive items: the items that you are offering for a reduced or incentive price if the order meets the promotion price requirements.

For example, if you set up two groups, you might set up promotional pricing to offer the customer:

• a reduced or incentive price on any item from group 1 with a qualifying purchase of items from group 1

• a reduced or incentive price on any item from group 1 with a qualifying purchase of items from group 2

• a reduced or incentive price on a specific item with a qualifying purchase of items from group 2

• a reduced or incentive price on a limited quantity of items from group 2 based on a qualifying merchandise dollar value on the order

Once you define the promotional pricing group and specify the items that will be included in each group, use Work with Promotional Pricing (WPRP) to define the requirements the customer's order must meet to be eligible for the incentive. For example, you also need to specify a source code or offer for the promotional pricing record.

See Upselling with Promotional Pricing for more information on how promotional pricing incentive items are presented in order entry.

Note: It is not necessary to use promotional pricing groups in order to use promotional pricing. For example, you can use promotional pricing to offer an item at a special price or at no charge when the customer uses a specific source code and meets an order dollar minimum value. See Work with Promotional Pricing (WPRP) for more information.

Free gifts by source or offer: You can specify a promotional pricing group of items that the customer must purchase in order to qualify for one or more free gifts. You also specify the required dollar value for the items on the order. For example you can specify that an order must include items within a group with a total merchandise value of $200.00 in order to qualify for a free gift.

You use the Work with Source Free Gifts Screen or the Work with Offer Free Gifts Screen to set up free gifts by source or offer.
