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

  1. Open WebSphere Commerce Developer and switch to the Enterprise Explorer view.

  2. Open the promotion engine configuration XML file in an editor:

    WC_EAR/xml/PromotionEngineConfiguration/WCSPromotionEngineConfig.xml

  3. 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.

  4. Save and close the file.

  5. Restart the WebSphere Commerce server.

  6. Deploy the configuration changes to the production environment.
