Calculate and View Sales Promotions
Explanation
This activity is used to view the outcome of performed
sales promotion calculations. This activity can be used in order to encourage
the customer to utilize more of the existing sales promotion deals i.e. buy more.
A sales promotion is used in order to reward a
particular buying behavior e.g. Buy part A, get part B free of charge. The
buying behavior is defined in the conditions as a minimum quantity or a minimum
amount for specific parts or assortment nodes. The reward is defined as a
discount amount, discount % or a special price and is given for promoted parts
defined. The promoted parts are defined as a minimum quantity or minimum amount
for specific parts or assortment nodes.
In this activity, you can analyze the outcome of the
sales promotion calculation for a specific customer order or sales quotation.
You can view all potential sales promotion deals and figure out what to do in
order to utilize more of the sales promotion deals and encourage the customer to
buy more.

Procedure
To view calculated sales promotions:
- Open the
Customer Order
or Sales Quotation window and query for the required record.
- Right-click in the header area, point to Sales
Promotions, and then click Calculate Sales Promotions in order to
get a fresh calculation. Note that this step is not needed if the
customer order or sales quotation is in the Planned status as an
automatic calculation is done when you perform step 3.
- Right-click in the header area, point to Sales
Promotions, and then click Calculate and View
Sales Promotions.
- In the upper table, you can see all potential
deals for this customer order or sales quotation.
- In the Times Buy Fulfilled field, you can
see how many times the buying behavior is fulfilled.
- In the Times Get Ordered field, you can see
how many times the promoted parts are ordered.
- In the Times Deal Utilized field, you can
see how many times the deal is applied to the customer order or sales
quotation.
- The Unutilized Deal check box determines whether or not the deal is considered as unutilized. A deal is considered as
unutilized when something from the deal is ordered but the deal is not
applied at all to the customer order or sales quotation. The deals
considered as unutilized are placed on top of the list, in order to handle
those deals first.
- It is possible to see the sum of the negative charge lines applied
to the deal, in the Net Amt/Curr, Gross Amt/Curr, Net
Amt/Base and Net Gross/Base fields.
- You can also see the special price, discount
amount or discount percentage offered in the deal.
- In the upper table, select the deal record you want
to analyze in more detail.
- The lower table merges the conditions for required buying
behavior with the conditions for the promoted parts you need to order. For each
condition you can see the missing quantity, the missing net amount or the
missing gross amount required in order to fulfill the condition. If all conditions,
with missing quantity or amount, are fulfilled, then you can utilize
the sales promotion deal once more.
- If the condition is entered for an assortment node
and you want to know about sales parts included in the assortment node,
right-click and then click Sales Parts.
- Go back to the Customer
Order or Sales Quotation window and add the missing quantities
and amounts.
- Right-click in the header area, point to Sales
Promotions, and then click Calculate Sales Promotions. Validate
that the deal is utilized once more as expected.
- Repeat steps 11-14 for other deals, if needed.
