Creating Fixed Price Item Promotions
Fixed price item promotions provide an alternative to offering a currency or percentage discount through a promotion. You can create promotions that offer items at a fixed promotional price.
For example, a promotion that offers any dress for $15 if a customer buys any T-shirt. Rather than entering a discount as a percentage or currency amount, a fixed price for the dress is entered. If the promotion is applied to an order that meets these criteria, the dress price is modified by calculating the amount of discount required to provide the dress for $15.
To create a fixed price item promotion:
-
Go to Lists > Marketing > Promotions > New.
-
Select Fixed Price Item Promotion from the SuitePromotions category.

-
Check the Inactive box if you want to make the promotion inactive but not deleted. If this box is checked the promotion will not be available for selection on a transaction.

Check the This promotion can be automatically applied box if you want this promotion to be automatically applied to transactions.
