Combined item quantities

An Enterprise may want to offer a quantity promotion by allowing customers to combine items. For example, if a pricing rule specifies 3 cans of soup for $2.00, rather than buying 3 identical soups, a customer can combine a vegetable, a chicken, and a bean soup.

As another example, if a promotion offers 25% off on any three R/W DVDs, it usually pertains to one brand of the target item. With the combined item quantities pricing rule, a customer can purchase a combination of different manufacturer’s R/W DVDs and be eligible for the discount. When enabled, quantity threshold can be satisfied by multiple items satisfying the qualifying criteria. Otherwise, individual qualifying items satisfy the quantity threshold.

If not set, the rule does not consider multiple items when applying an adjustment.

This rule applies a discount to a single occurrence, or to a specific number of occurrences of the qualifying item, until it meets a specific quantity threshold. If an order has more items than the quantity required to meet the threshold, discounts are applied on the highest priced items first, unless the lowest priced is specified.

For example, consider the following promotion: Buy 3 binders for $5.00. Your order contains Binders A, B, C, and D
