Based on the rest of this message I'm guessing that "assign ship group assignments" means something like "assign a promotion to a ship group." Is that correct? If so, what does that mean, something like you want to restrict a promotion to a particular ship group? Does the user explicitly select the promotion and associate it to the ship group? > Where this falls apart, is that as products are added, the promotions > get added and removed each time the products are manipulated.

I'm not exactly sure what you're trying to do based on the first paragraph, so I'm not sure how what you describe in the second paragraph is different from what you want. Based on a guess it sounds like you want some sort of user-selected promotion rather than letting the system select promotions based on promo rule conditions. I'm not sure how the ship groups fit into that, but generally it's probably best to keep those explicit/manual promos in a separate place and add them after the automatic promotions so they don't interfere with the auto promos, unless of course you want a manual one to be able to disqualify an automatic one and then you'd do it before. -David
