Coupons

Coupons give customers a discount on items which they add to their shopping carts. For example, Christmas holidays are coming and you can offer a coupon which will give your customers a 20% discount on all Christmas decorations. Then, when a customer adds any item that belongs to the item group “Christmas decorations”, each item will get a 20% discount in the shopping cart.

You can create coupons which offer discounts for items and items assigned to item groups.

You can create a coupon either for all customers of your web store or for a specific group of customers.

If customers have a valid coupon code, they can enter it in the shopping cart. Customers can apply only one coupon to the shopping cart.

To be able to use coupons from SAP Business One, in Sana Admin click: Setup > Marketing > Promotions and enable the Discount codes option. Otherwise, the Discount code field in the shopping cart, where the coupon can be entered, will not be present.

In SAP Business One there are 2 coupon types – General and Line Specific discount types.

General Coupon Type

You can create a coupon without lines. In this case, customers can use this coupon for all items in the catalog. If an item has any other SAP Business One discounts, these discounts will be also applied in the shopping cart. When a customer applies the coupon of the General discount type (without lines), the discount will be calculated for the total sales order amount, but not for each line separately.

For example, Christmas holidays are coming and you can offer a coupon which will give your customers a 20% discount on all items during Christmas time.

When a customer creates a sales order and if the coupon of the General discount type is calculated, its details will be stored in the following user-defined fields of the sales order in SAP Business One: Promotion Code, Discount Assortment Type and Promotion Discount Percentage.

In the Sana web store the coupon description is shown in the shopping cart details to inform customers about the deal.

Line Specific Coupon Type

You can create a coupon with some lines. It means that a coupon can be applied to specific items or item groups. When you create a coupon with some items or item groups, the discount will be calculated for these items separately.

There can be multiple discounts for the same product – the standard SAP Business One discount and Sana’s coupon. Currently, Sana coupons have higher priority and override the standard SAP Business One discounts.

When a customer creates a sales order and if the coupon of the Line Specific coupon type is calculated, its details will be stored in the following Sana specific fields of the sales order contents in SAP Business One: Coupon Code, Coupon Title and Discount %.

In the Sana web store the coupon description and discount percentage are shown in the shopping cart for those products that are included in the coupon discount to inform customers about the deal.

Limitations
