Promotion TableRetailers often offer discounts when multiples of items are purchased. Through the Promotion Table, you canhandle four different discount situations.1. Mix & MatchThis discount situation takes place where the merchant offers a fixed amount discount when a specificquantity of similar items are purchased. For example, “save $5 on any three bottles of wine”. Thisdiscount is implemented by first linking the applicable PLUs to a specific promotion table. At thepromotion table screen, set the discount price field with the discount amount and the fixed quantityfield with the number of items that need to be purchased in order to qualify for the discount.Mix & Match %This discount situation is similar to mix & match, except a percentage discount is applied (rather thanan amount discount) when the discount criteria is met.2. Multi BuyThis discount situation takes place where the merchant offers a fixed amount discount when a specificcombination of items is purchased. For example, purchase 2-hamburgers, 1-french fry and 1-mediumsoft drink to receive a $1 meal discount. To implement this discount, you must list each item and thequalifying quantity that must be purchased on the promotion table program screen. Enter the amountof the combination discount in the discount price field.3. Fixed PriceThe fixed price discount is similar to the mult-buy discount. In both situations specific items must besold to qualify, except when using the fixed price option, the package price is programmed instead ofthe package discount. For example, purchase 3-roast beef sandwiches for $3. In this case, the roastbeef sandwich will be listed on promotion table screen with a quantity of “3”. The discount pricefield will be set at $3, which is the actual cost of the package.4. Selective DiscountSelective discount enables a “coupon search” feature. In other words, before a coupon is allowed, theproduct for with the coupon applies, must be register in the transaction. The selective discountpromotion is applied by first programming a “%” function key, and then setting the options on thePromotion Table programming screen. The “Mix&Match Table #” field on the PLU must be set to“00”. The discount is applied by first entering the promotion table number, then touching the “%”function key. If the discountable item is not registered, a “NO ITEM FOR SELECT DISCOUNT”error will display and the discount will not be applied. The FIXED QTY field will determine howmany times the discount is applied.150 P Mode Programming SPS-500 Program Manual v1.13
