Allow override special promo price specified in action amount
-------------------------------------------------------------
Key: OFBIZ-3030
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-3030
Project: OFBiz
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: product, specialpurpose/ecommerce
Affects Versions: SVN trunk
Reporter: Jennifer Weston
Priority: Minor
When a promo rule action is set to "Product for [Special Promo] Price", all
affected products have their price set to Product.specialPromoPrice. The
special promo price is defined in ProductPrice with a productPriceTypeId of
SPECIAL_PROMO_PRICE. At the moment, only one special promo price may be defined
per product lest an exception is thrown when loading the special promo price.
It would be useful to allow promo rules to specify their own special promo
price in the action amount as an override so that multiple special promo prices
may be defined for a product.
The difference between using special promo price and using "X Product for Y
Price" is the later is pretty rigid about setting the price for a fixed
quantity. For instance, let's say we have a promo rule with a condition "X
Quantity of Product" "is Greater Than or Equal To" 5 and an action "X Product
for Y Price" where the quantity is set to 1 (or left blank) and the amount is
set to 50.The way this will work is the customer will have to put at least 5 of
the affected product in his cart to trigger the rule. The action will only
change the price for one of the items instead of all of the items. This can be
a desirable behavior. But it also means the rule cannot produce the result of
setting all of the products to a new amount which can also be a desirable
behavior.
