I have been looking over the documentation on discounts in version 9.0 and have not been able to figure out if/how you apply a specific promo code to a discount offer. I know you can use the discounts with the API, but am a little fuzzy on the specifics.
For example, when I set up a promo code now I use offers to apply a specific source code to a specific price type and then use TR_WEB_SOURCE_NO to link the source code with a promo code that goes out on marketing materials. I would like to know what the steps are to link a promo code to a discount instead of a price type.
Has anyone figured this out yet, or are discounts still too new?
Thanks,
Boann
There is nothing built into the Tessitura application that links a discount type to a source (or a promo code associated with a source). There is an API method to apply a discount type, but you have to handle the conditions of when the discount type is applied entirely with web coding.
There is a section on discount types in the new Tessitura and the Web document. It doesn’t really say much more than I said here (because there isn’t much to say), but I wanted to point out the document as a good resource for these types of questions about what you can and can’t do on the web. Here’s a link to the document:

Hey Kevin, I couldn't access that document using that link. Can you post it again or maybe email it to me? The url prompted the message "The requested document was not found."
Thanks!

Hi Karyn,
I believe that link refers to the Tessitura and the Web document (that I think you already have, right?)--whose detail page would be found here. Sorry about the bad link!
Best,Todd
