Pricing Rules for 2 line items

Hey there,

We tried this but this method was messing with another report that we use frequently so the Pricetype change was going to fix that… Looks like its back the drawing board I think J

But thank you a million for the help!

Cheers,

Hi Paul,

The drawback to this is that when a pricing rule has already taken action in the order, each sublineitem is tagged as either a Result or a Qualifier (R or Q), and is therefore not considered for the action of any further pricing rules in the set. So the short answer is no, you can’t have two rules acting on one order.
HOWEVER…

You can simulate this sort of behavior with a bit of creative pricing setup. The trick to using a rule that effects a Price Change (not a Price Type change) is:

1.       Set the amount of the change to the quantity or percentage of the larger of the necessary changes (i.e. if one is a 50% discount and the other is a comp, set the rule to a 100% discount.)

a.       Set the pricing rule to Respect Minimum Price.

b.      When setting up the price types, set each of the price types so that the Minimum Price of the price type is equal to the lowest amount to which it should be discounted by the pricing rule – e.g. for the price type that is to be free, make it 0; for the one to be 50% off, set it to 50% of face value.

2.       When the rule is invoked, it will discount the price type by 100%- up to the limit of the minimum price.

Hope this is helpful,

Jonathan
