[OFBiz] Users - Question about promotions

[Jacopo Cappellato-2]

Hi all,

is it possible to create promotions (discounts) that are applied to the
same item one after the other?
For example:

promo1 = 20% discount
promo2 = 10% discount

If I create an order item with amount = 500
I'd like to have promo1 applied to it:
20% of 500 = 100
So 500 - 100 = 400
And then promo2 applied to the result:
10% of 400 = 40
Total discount: 100 + 40

Thanks for your help!

Jacopo

Jacopo,

I think if you create multiple promotions they will be applied this way.

If I remember right the promotions calculations are all handled  
independently, in other words all percentages are based on the items  
sub-total and don't compound. This was done because there is no  
facility to specify in which order the promotions are applied, and if  
compounded like this the order makes a big difference.

It does get a bit complicated and a lot more options could be  
introduced to the promotions stuff to make them even MORE  
complicated, like an explicit application order (be careful there  
though... if they aren't applied in the order that maximizes value to  
the customer, sometimes they get a little bit ticked off... so for  
the most part the promo stuff is coded to be the most generous to the  
customer), or another feature that could be added is to specify for  
each percentage whether it includes various other promotions or not  
(this could lead to quite complicated promotion interaction  
settings...).

Si and David,

thanks for your feedback.

I've created a Jira issue to keep track of this:
