Create Volume, Bundle or Matrix Discount

To create a new discount rule, open Pricer App. In Discount Rules tab section, click New. In Record Type, select Volume, Bundle or Matrix record type. Click Continue and fill out fields with respective information.

In Method picklist (for Volume or Bundle discount) you can see two types of discounts:

"Simple" – same discount is applied to each product unit and is based on total quantity of products.
"Tiered" – pricing per unit is based on tiers, with larger discounts for higher tiers.

Checked Active Flag checkbox means that the discount is active and will be applied. Sequence field determines the priority of discount application, the smaller sequence - the higher priority. Sequence is a global field for all discount types, that’s why sequence must be carefully selected.

Setting Volume Discount

To complete the creation process of Volume discount, you need to add products, to which the discount is applied, set the size of discount and conditions when the discount is applied.

Volume Products are products, to which the discount is applied.

In Volume Ranges, we define when and how to apply the discount. When adding new Volume Range, you need to indicate:

"Discount Amount" - defines the size of discount. The set figure may be both the amount and the percent depending on the discount type.
"Min/Max Quantity" - sets the quantity range of goods, i.e. the range where the product discount will apply.
"Discount Type" – there are three types of discounts:
<p> - Discount Percent – the product price will be reduced by the percent indicated in Discount Amount field. The figure in Discount Amount field is calculated only as percentage.
- Discount Value – the product price will be reduced by the amount specified in Discount Amount field.
- Price Override – by applying this type, the price for each product unit will equal the amount indicated in Discount Amount field.

Setting Bundle Discount

When creating Bundle discount, you need to indicate Bundle Criteria and Bundle Offer.

Bundle Criteria are criteria when the discount is activated. You need to specify only Product and Min Quantity. When this condition is met, for example, a customer buys certain products in the amount indicated in min quantity, he/she will receive the discount indicated in Bundle Offer.

Bundle Offer is either a discount or a discount offer, which will become available, when Bundle Criteria are met. When creating Bundle Offer, you need to indicate Discount Amount, Discount Type, Product, to which the discount is applied, and Max Quantity of product units, to which the discount will be applied. The procedure is similar to creation of Volume Ranges.
