Work with Promotional Pricing (WPRP)
Purpose: Use this function to create and change a promotional pricing record. Promotional pricing allows you to promote one or more incentive items at a special price, at a discount off the regular price, or at no charge, if the customer meets the eligibility requirements.
You define in the promotional pricing record:
• the requirements a customer's order must meet to be eligible to receive an incentive item. This can include ordering:
• from a specific source code or offer, and
• from a promotional group, or
• a promotional item, or
• a specified merchandise dollar amount
• incentive details, which can include ordering:
• from an incentive group or an incentive item at no charge, or
• from an incentive group or an incentive item at a special price, or
• from an incentive group or incentive item with a dollar or percentage discount
You specify the items that will be available as part of a promotional pricing group using Work with Promotional Pricing Groups (WPRG). You then use the Work with Promotional Pricing option to define the criteria that will make a customer eligible for the incentive. However, it is not necessary to use promotional groups as part of promotional pricing; you can also base the promotion on a specific minimum order dollar value, item, offer, or source code.
Note: Once you have added an incentive item to an order, the system will not reprice it or reassess tax, regardless of changes to the shipping address, customer tax status, etc.
In order entry: Promotional windows will display in Order Entry only if the order type (see Establishing Order Types (WOTY)) indicates to display promotional windows, and if the source code on the order allows promotional pricing. For example, you can suppress promotional windows from displaying for mail or fax orders. See Upselling with Promotional Pricing for more information.
Note: If you have set up pop-up window messages in the Source Code table, in addition to promotional windows, the windows resulting from the Source Code table appear first, before the promotional windows. See Working with Source Codes (WSRC).
