Using the Promotion Base List
When you create a new Catalog, a new Promotion Base List is automatically created. You cannot control the Eligibility or add any Price Modifiers for a Promotion Base List. You can only use it to add specific entries that you want to target with a promotional price.
To use the Promotion Base List,
-
Open the Global Menu () and go to Commerce → Catalogs.
-
Click Add () and enter the following information.
Name: Test Catalog
Default Catalog Language: English (United States)
Currency: US Dollar
-
Click Submit.
This creates a new Catalog and a new Promotion Base List. To view this, open the Global Menu () and click on Commerce → Promotions. You should see a new entry as Test Catalog Base Promotion.
Adding Entries
The Promotion Base List automatically adds all products in the corresponding catalog as entries. To target a specific SKU in the Catalog,
-
Search for an SKU in the Entries section and click on it.
-
You can enter a Promotion Price, expiration date, and configure bulk or tiered pricing for the SKU.
-
Click Save.
You can also use the Override Discount toggle to give the promotion price precedence over any active Discounts. See the comparison between a promotion overriding a 20% discount and without it.
Another way to target an SKU with a promotion price is by opening the Global Menu () and going to Commerce → Products. Find and select the product and click the SKUs tab. Select the SKU you want to target and set a Promotion Price for it. Click Publish. This sets the price of the SKU in the Base Promotion List. Prior to Liferay DXP 7.4 U42/GA42, Promotion Price was called Sale Price.
