Group Exclusivity
-
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 16-6 Transaction Exclusivity

---|---|---|
A |
Yes |
Yes |
B |

No |
C |

Yes |
D |

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.

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.
