Configure the promotion engine default behavior

To configure the promotion engine's default behavior:

1. Edit the promotion engine configuration XML file in an editor. You can find this file in the following location: WC_eardir/xml/PromotionEngineConfiguration/WCSPromotionEngineConfig.xml

2. Update the following code segment:

   <PriceAdjustmentBasedOnStandardOfferPrice>
   true</PriceAdjustmentBasedOnStandardOfferPrice>
   
   
   

3. The segments in bold should be updated to reflect the desired promotion engine behavior. The parameters have the following impact:

   PriceAdjustmentBasedOnStandardOfferPrice

   Product-level discount promotions are applied to the standard offer price. However, you can specify how the promotion engine handles cases where the offer price that a customer sees (as a result of a contract, or a price negotiation with a Customer Service Representative, for example) is less than the price that would result from applying the promotion. If this value is set to true, then the promotion discount is not applied. If it is set to false, then the promotion is applied.

4. Publish the updated configuration file to the production server.
