Here are a few examples of the types of promotions you can run using this feature:

1.Buy X Quantity, Get X Discount

•For example, "Buy 3 qualifying items, get 10% off"

•This promotion can be applied to specified products or any product(s) in your store, giving flexibility in how you structure discounts.

2.Buy X Value, Get Y for $20

•For example, "Spend $100 on specified products or any products, get a select item for only $20"

•You can choose the item for the discount to apply to and set a fixed price for it, providing a unique incentive.

3.Discount Applied Only to Specific Products

•For example, "Buy any stainless steel mixing bowl, get 20% off on all mugs"

•The promotion allows discounts to apply on different products than those that qualify for the promotion.

4.Category-Based Discounts

•For example, "Buy 2 items from the 'Homeware' product group, get 15% off on all kitchen products"

•This allows you to create product group-based promotions, where certain product groups qualify for the promotion, and the discount can be applied to any other product group.

Promotions can be applied in the following locations:

Point of Sale

QuickPOS

Sales Invoices
 

At this time, promotions do not apply to Sales Orders, but this functionality will be coming soon.

Where a discount is to be applied across multiple products on a sale, the discounts apply to the lowest value lines first.

Multiple Promotions Application

When multiple promotions apply to the same transaction, the system will apply the promotion based on Promotion Priority. Users can set the priority for each promotion with higher priority promotions overriding lower priority promotions. If promotion priorities are the same, the highest discount value applies.

Promotions can be set up and tested in Promotions Maintenance.

Promotion discounts will:

•Reduce the amount on an invoice line.

•Reduce the gross profit on an invoice line by the promotion discount amount.

Promotion discounts will NOT:

•Trigger sales exceptions for lines with promotions where the promotion discount amount drops the G/P below the minimum G/P allowed.

•Affect the ‘Last Price Paid’ recorded, or the price displayed on sales history screens. However the price will be shaded so the user knows a promo was applied to the invoice line.

•Apply a markup where a product is already being sold below a Set Value or Set Price defined on a promotion discount.

•Appear as separate line items on Point of Sale returns, when reversing a sales invoice or when raising an NCN/CAR. Instead, the sell price will be re-calculated to take into account the promotion discount.

e.g original sale:

vs Point of Sale return/Sales Credit/NCN

This ensures that even if the return/credit is processed outside of the promotion period, the customer is credited the correct amount.

Promotion details recorded against invoices have been added to the Visual Data and Reporting Studio (VDRS) Sales Invoice Lines report, Sales Invoice Detail Report and the Customer Detail Invoice Report.

The below examples are how promotions will appear on tax invoices and receipts.

Ex GST Tax Invoice

Inc GST Tax Invoice

Ex GST Backorder Payment Receipt

Inc GST Backorder Payment Receipt

Thermal POS Receipts

In the Point of Sale and Sales Invoice/Credit Entry & Maintenance, you have the option to manage promotions directly within the transaction:

Remove Promotions: If needed, a promotion line can be double-clicked to remove it from the sale. This allows for flexibility in adjusting the transaction on the fly.

Restore Promotions: If a promotion line is removed by mistake, you can clear the originating sale line and then re-add it. The promotion line will automatically reappear, ensuring that the promotion is correctly applied.

In QuickPOS, users have the ability to manage promotion lines within the transaction:

Voiding Promotions: A promotion line can be highlighted and then Void Item can be selected to remove it from the sale.

Restore Promotions: If the promotion line is voided in error, simply void the originating sale line and re-add it. The promotion line will automatically reappear, ensuring the promotion is correctly applied.

Below are some examples of setting up promotions.

Buy any 3 mixing bowls for $3 each, promotion can be applied more than once per sale.

Any three of the below product codes must be purchased in the same transaction to qualify for the promotion. The qualifying quantity can be reached multiple times on a sale.

Once a sale qualifies for the promotion by purchasing the required products and quantities, customers will receive each discounted product at $3.00 each. The discounted price can be applied up to 3 items, meaning that if the customer purchases a fourth mixing bowl, it will be charged at full price.

Buy all 3 and get 5% off, promotion can be applied more than once per sale.

All three of the below product codes must be purchased in the same transaction to qualify for the promotion. The qualifying quantity can be reached multiple times on a sale.

Once a sale qualifies for the promotion by purchasing the required products and quantities, customers will receive each discounted product at 5% off. The discounted price can be applied up to 3 items, meaning that if the customer purchases a fourth product, it will be charged at full price with no discount applied.

Spend over $100.00 storewide and get 10% off your total, promotion can be applied more than once per sale.

Purchase over $100.00 including GST of any product storewide in the same transaction to qualify for the promotion. The qualifying value can be reached multiple times on a sale.

Once a sale qualifies for the promotion by purchasing the required value, customers will receive each discounted product at 10% off. The discounted price can be applied up to 999 times, which in practical terms is considered unlimited within the context of the promotion, meaning that for every qualifying purchase (up to 999), the customer can receive the discount on the product.

Spend over $50.00 on glasses and get a glass sculpture for $10.00, promotion will only be applied once per sale.

Purchase over $50.00 including GST on glasses in the same transaction to qualify for the promotion. The qualifying value can only be reached once on a sale.

Once a sale qualifies for the promotion by purchasing the required value of selected products, customers will then receive a set of glass sculptures at $10.00 when also added to the sale. The discounted price will only be applied once on a sale. i.e Where $150.00 is spent on glasses and three sets of glass sculptures are included in the sale, only one set of glass sculptures will be discounted to $10.00, the other two sets will be sold at full value.
