If two discounts are transaction exclusive to each other, only one can be applied to the same transaction. The discount that provides the best deal is applied to the check.
If two discounts are item exclusive to each other, only one can be applied to a specific menu item. Two discounts that are item exclusive can both be present on a transaction, but only applied to different menu items. Again, the discount that provides the best deal is applied to the item.
Table 13-6 Transaction Exclusivity
| Discount | In Exclusivity Group 1 | In Exclusivity Group 2 |
|---|---|---|
|
A |
Yes |
Yes |
|
B |
Yes |
No |
|
C |
No |
Yes |
|
D |
No |
No |
Discounts A and B cannot appear on the same transaction because they both belong to the first group.
Discounts A and C cannot appear on the same transaction because they both belong to the second group.
Discounts B and C can appear on the same transaction because they do not belong to the same groups.
Discount D can appear on any transaction with A, B, and C because it does not belong to any group.
The Transaction Exclusivity example shows a configuration with only two groups. The combinations become more complex (yet more flexible) when using all 32 groups in the property.
Table 13-7 Item Exclusivity

|---|---|---|
|
A |

|
C |

Menu Item x is discounted by A or B, but not both. Discounts A and B are exclusive to each other.
Menu Item y is discounted by A and C. These discounts are not exclusive to each other, so they may both discount the same items.
