Features Discount

 

Features Discount.

It is possible to assign discounts to lenses, treatments, extras and frames based on features,  This is turned on by a setting under Discounts: “Discount groups by Features”.

Setting up.

If this is set then a label “Groups by Lens Features” is shown on the discounts screen.  If this is clicked then it opens up a CSV file with the different combinations.

For lenses, the combinations are:

Source. Material, Style, Colour, Design.

For treatments, there are different combination based on the treatment type.

For extras, there are different combinations for glazing types.

For frames, there are different combinations based on brand.

The CSV file generated will list all the combinations.

Column F will be the discount group as created in the discounts screen.

Using filters, the discount group can be applied to all the rows, for example, it might be based on transitions colours, lens design or source.

This is then saved.

Applying. 

To apply the features to the pricing records, you need to go into the update prices screen and then exit.  On the exit, the features are checked against the price record.

Using.

The customer record can then be set to have bespoke discounts by each of the discount groups.
