From looking at the Demo data
(catalog/control/EditProductPromoRules?productPromoId=9011) the amount of
discount should be in the Amount: box
I still cannot get it working, but I'll keep fiddling around till I get it to
run a promotion based upon cart total and party classification.

Its not an error yet :) What I can't wrap my head around it how to handle the
case where the customer is entitled to an additional discount based upon the
value of items in the cart, yet they are not entitled to recieve that additional
discount percentage for all the items in the cart.
10% off 5% Promo
Part Retail PriceRule Qty over $500 Total
A $10 $9 10 0 $90
A $10 $9 70 35 $595
B $10 $9 10 0 $90
B $10 $9 70 0 $630
So if a customer had 70 of partA and 70 of partB which is exempt from any more
discounting, their cart total should be $1225, not $1260
I guess I need to get a promo I created working, before I worry about the
exception to the promo :)
