Create a Classic Promotion Record
To create a promotion in NetSuite Point of Sale (NSPOS), you must first have the Discount Item in place. Then you can set up the actual promotion.
NetSuite POS (NSPOS) can apply multiple promotions to one sales transaction, but when an item that is included in multiple promotions is rung up at the terminal, NSPOS will only apply one promotion for that item to the sales transaction. The register actively analyzes the items and quantities as they are rung up. As the transaction progresses, NSPOS may remove one promotion that was applied for a different promotion that will bring the customer a larger discount.
You can set up basic item and BOGO or Mix and Match when using classic promotions.
-
Basic item promotions apply a discount directly to the quantity and item being purchased.
-
Buy one, get one (BOGO) or mix and match promotions provide discounts by purchasing a combination of items.
It is important to understand how NetSuite designates which items must be purchased by the customer and which items are then discounted or provided to the customer for fulfilling the promotion conditions.
-
Items used to fulfill promotion requirements are Trigger items.
-
Discounted or free items are Reward items.
-
When an item is purchased and then a second of the same item is discounted, the item is flagged as both a Trigger and Reward item.
