To create a Coupon Issue modi#61441;er line:

The following steps outline how to create a coupon issue modifier:

1. Define the Coupon Benefit

1. In the Modifiers Summary tab, create a modifier line to define the benefit that is issued when the coupon is redeemed. For example, a 10% discount or $6 offs the order. Select a modifier line type of Discount or Promotional Goods to define the benefit.
2. The modifier number (Modifier No) that defaults for the modifier line is used to generate a unique number series for the coupon; the coupon number is passed to the calling application. The customer must quote the coupon number to redeem the coupon in the calling application. When the customer redeems the coupon, the pricing engine validates the coupon number against the qualifier and also validates the qualifiers for the discount or promotional goods benefit.

Note: Typically, the coupon is issued for an order, and the actual discount line (the benefit the coupon applies) is applied to a subsequent order when the coupon is redeemed. However, if you set up a line level qualifier for the discount line with the following settings then both the discount line and coupon line can be applied to the same order:

? Grouping Number = -1
? Grouping Number = Any of the Coupon Modifier Numbers

If you are intentionally including a line level qualifier on the discount line which is of grouping no. not equal to any of the coupon modifier numbers and is not equal to -1, it means that you actually want the discount to be applied independent of coupon redemption.

2. Define the Coupon Issue Details

In a second modifier line, you define the coupon details such as the coupon name, its expiration date, and other details. This is the Coupon Issue line. Then you link the benefit line to the coupon issue line
1. Select Coupon Issue as the Modifier Type.
2. Enter a Benefit Quantity and Benefit UOM. enter a Redemption Rate to specify the percentage probability that customers might redeem this coupon.
3. Enter Coupon Conversion Rate to specify the conversion of the Benefit UOM to the primary currency. For example, if one air mile is 0.50 currency units, the coupon conversion rate is 0.50.
4. Enter the Expiration Date which is the last date that the customer can redeem the coupon. Alternately, if you enter values for the Expiration Start Date, Expiration Period, and Expiration Period Type, the pricing engine automatically calculates the Expiration Date. For example, for the following coupon setup, the pricing engine calculates an expiration date of 20 July:
5. Expiration Period Start Date: 20 April
6. Expiration Period: 3
7. Expiration Period Type: Month

Note: If you do not enter Expiration Period Start Date, the pricing engine will use the date that the calling application issued the coupon.

8. Enter the Coupon Modifier Number to link the Coupon Issue modifier line to the benefit modifier line.
