Setting up a promotion matrix

Define the following fields in the Pricing Parameters (tdpcg0100m000) session:

In the Matrix Definition (tdpcg0610m000) session:

1. Define a matrix definition of the following matrix types:

   • Line Promotions

     To define matrix attributes for sales order line promotions. A line promotion is a special offer on a sales order line that reduces the price of the original item by a percentage or monetary amount, or that offers premiums with the purchase of the original item.

   • Order Promotions

     To define matrix attributes for sales order header promotions. An order promotion is a special offer on a sales order that reduces the total order price by a percentage, or that offers a premium.
2. Define the elements, which are matrix attributes, for which you want to set up a promotion.
3. Define a matrix priority for the matrix definition, which is used as a search priority to find a promotion.

In the Discount Schedule (tdpcg0612m000) session, define a discount schedule that is allocated to a promotion, which means it has the Used for Promotions check box selected. In the discount schedule, you specify the promotion details, which include the discount amount, percentage, or premium, and the order quantity or amount to which the promotion applies. You can also specify the break type for the schedule type.

For more information, refer to Setting up a discount schedule.

If required, maintain promotion groups in the Promotion Groups (tdpcg0115m000) session. Promotion groups enable you to link more than one promotion to a promotion matrix. You must select a Group Type and maintain the group type's promotion group in the relevant session, which you can start from the appropriate menu.

For an overview of promotion groups, refer to the Promotion Groups - Overview (tdpcg0515m000) session.

Maintain promotions in the Promotions (tdpcg0140m000) session. In this session, you must link the discount schedule to the promotion.

Specify order and line promotion matrices in these sessions:

• Line Promotion Matrices (tdpcg0130m210)
• Order Promotion Matrices (tdpcg0130m220)

In these sessions, you must link a matrix definition to a promotion or promotion group and you must enter values for the matrix attributes. As a result, matrix attributes are linked to a promotion or promotion group.

You need not create a promotion matrix for default promotions, which you can define in the Default Promotion field of the Promotions (tdpcg0140m000) session. LN automatically searches for these promotions.
