How to Set the Discount Priority
For the latest version of Commerce Server 2007 Help, see the Microsoft Web site.
You give every discount a priority that determines to apply the discount relative to other discounts that may also apply to a product. (Unlike ads, discounts do not use weights to determine when they are delivered.) Commerce Server applies discounts from the lowest numeric number to the highest. For example, Commerce Server applies a discount with a priority of 10 before a discount with a priority of 20. This is true even if the discounts apply to the same award item.
This topic describes how to set the priority of a discount.
