Configure the price adjustment base for promotions
Product-level discount promotions are applied to the standard offer price. 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.
This procedure affects promotions created in WebSphere Commerce Accelerator only.
Procedure
- Open WebSphere Commerce Developer and switch to the Enterprise Explorer view.
- Open the promotion engine configuration XML file in an editor:
WC_EAR/xml/PromotionEngineConfiguration/WCSPromotionEngineConfig.xml
- Update the following code segment:
<PriceAdjustmentBasedOnStandardOfferPrice> true</PriceAdjustmentBasedOnStandardOfferPrice>
If this value is set to true, then the promotion discount is not applied if the offer price that a customer sees is less than the price that would result from applying the promotion. If it is set to false, then the promotion is applied.
- Save and close the file.
- Restart the WebSphere Commerce server.
- Deploy the configuration changes to the production environment.
