Setting your default promotion form in NetSuite ERP
Our advanced promotions engine includes the ability to apply multiple discounts to the same item in a single transaction. You configure how and if promotions combine through Stacking Rules. NSPOS uses the rules to apply the one or more promotions that bring the largest discount to the shopper.
However, the option to provide multiple discounts may not fit all business models. Under our classic promotions engine, NSPOS reviews the promotions in effect and applies only the single best discount to each item or combination of items. This best-discount only logic was in legacy NSPOS releases and is in line with the promotion strategy many retailers use now.
NSPOS includes the option to choose your default promotion form – advanced or classic. Updating a classic promotion using the advanced form will not cause issues, but it might be confusing. Advanced fields not supported by an existing promotion are ignored by the application.
NSPOS registers use a flag to determine if your promotions are handled on the register as classic or advanced. The release team automatically sets the register flag appropriate for your setup during your upgrade. Do not change this flag without assistance from NetSuite Customer Support.
If you are on the classic promotion engine and want to begin using advanced promotions, contact NetSuite Customer Support to request promotion flag changes on your NSPOS registers. They might need to review your current processes.
