| # Promotion retrieval In Pricing, promotions are defined for items and business partners. Promotions are used to offer extra discounts and/or free gifts on sales orders or sales order lines. With the exception of default promotions, which are automatically searched for, LN uses promotion matrices to check whether a promotion is defined for the item and/or the business partner of a sales order. LN looks for valid promotions in the promotion matrices for which a matrix priority is defined. The retrieval of promotion matrices is controlled by the Line Promotion Control and Order Promotion Control parameters in the Pricing Parameters (tdpcg0100m000) session. These parameters can be set to the following: First Eligible The first valid promotion is applicable. All Eligible All valid promotions are applicable. First Eligible plus All Exclusive The first valid promotion is applicable for which the Exclusive Promotion check box is selected in the Promotions (tdpcg0140m000) session. All Exclusive All valid promotions are applicable for which the Exclusive Promotion check box is selected in the Promotions (tdpcg0140m000) session. To retrieve promotions from a promotion matrix, LN looks for promotion matrices with a matrix definition and matrix attributes that match the properties of the relevant sales order. Note that all of the matrix attributes must match the properties of the order. When found, the promotion linked to the promotion matrix is applied to the sales order. Note When you enter a sales order or a sales order line, you can display and select eligible and/or applied promotions in the Sales Order Promotion Data Link (tdsls4536m000) session.
