Dynamic Pricing : Dynamic Pricing capability based on Specials (Dynamic Specials) Dynamic Pricing capability based on Specials (Dynamic Specials)
Dynamic Pricing Rules have the ability to attach to a Special and calculate the discounts applied by the Special. This allows more flexibility because it permits Dynamic Specials to be applied to regularly priced items. It also allows configuration of item Dynamic Pricing Rules to avoid long blocks of IF(SPECIAL(COUPON1), …)IF(SPECIAL(COUPON2), …). Finally, it makes a clear distinction for reporting purposes between static Specials and Dynamic Specials.
• A set of Items and Specials that mirror each other are configured. For example, if there is a Special named 300 there is also an Item named 300.
• Each Item that mirrors a Special has a Nickname or User Defined Fields (UDF) that matches the characters encoded in the barcode for the various coupon promotions.
Example:
Barcoded vouchers are distributed to the public for Special 300. The barcode contains the characters 300. The corresponding Item’s Nickname needs to be 300 or the UDF on the General tab needs to be 300.
• On the Sales Actions tab of the 300 Item, SELECTITEM("DDDDDDDDDDCCCCCCCCCCIIIIIIIIII") macros are entered to add all admission items to the sale along with QUANTITY(0). The last macro configured is SELECTIVESPECIAL ("NICKNAME"). For example, SELECTIVESPECIAL("300 ").
Note: This is NOT the standard %%C1 coupon scanning option, but instead a multikey lookup function to add an item to a sale; and that item executes several macros.
