Quantum Discount
If multiple Quantum Discounts are in effect they would add up, for example if I have a 10% discount at 5 items and a 20%
discount at 20 items and I would purchase 22 items, I would get a 30% discount (10%+20%) because I purchase 5 or more
items and I would also purchase 20 or more items.
Happy Hour A specific time a day a discount will be given.
Continuous period A time frame (which can span months) in which a discount will be given.
Fixed Discount A fixed discount, this is where the 'fixed price' is set.
Absolute Discount A percentage of the basic price.
Cumulative Discount A percentage of the lowest fixed price that will be added to all other cumulative discounts
Relative Discount A percentage of the lowest fixed price.
Fixed discount
Use this discount to effectively change the price into the price at which the product will be sold. So if the basic product price
is (€)10,00 and the discount is (€)9,00, the product would cost €9,00.
But if another was already set to (€)7,50, the product would cost €7,50. This is because Discounts will always look for the
lowest fixed price.
Absolute discount
Sell this product with a discount of a certain percentage of the basic price. So if the basic price is (€)10,00 and the discount
is 9(%) the product would cost €9,10.
But if another Discount would have already set a Fixed discount price to (€)6,00, the product will be sold for €6,00. This is
because Discounts will always look for the lowest Fixed price.
Cumulative discount
Sell this product at a percentage of the lowest fixed price. This percentage will be added to the other Cumulative Discount
percentages. So if the basic product price is (€)10,00 the discount is 5(%) and there is already a cumulative discount of
8(%), the cumulative discount will be 5% + 8% = 13%. So the product will cost €8,70.
But if another Discount had the fixed price already set to (€)4,50, the product would cost €3,96; (13% of €4,50). This is
because Discounts will always look for the lowest fixed price.
Only Cumulative Discounts are added, the only other influence on discounts that use percentages is the 'fixed price'
field in the current discount and the other Discounts.
Relative discount
Sell this product at a percentage of the lowest fixed price. So if the basic product price is (€)10,00 the discount is 12(%) the
product price will be €8,80. But if a fixed price was also set to (€)7,00, the product price would be €6,16.
The Discount order can be a very complex subject, it's only needed when multiple discounts are in effect and not all
should be in effect in a specific case.
