Discountable/Non -Discountable SKUs in ATG 10.2


Today I came to know the interested attribute (discountable) of SKU added in ATG 10.2. Oracle introduced this boolean attribute at SKU and Product level. The attribute value true means it is discountable. The false value means non-discountable. By default SKUs and Products are discountable.

Non-discountable items do act as qualifiers for the promotion but they will not receive the discount.

Example : There is an Order Level Promotion say Spend 100$ get 20% Off.

Case 1 : If Order contains only non-discountable SKUs. In this case customer won't get any discount.
Case 2 : If Order contain non-discountable SKUs worth 60$.And discountable SKUs worth 40$.Here customer will get only 8$ discount (20% off 40). Both (discountable and non discountable) SKUs will contribute the amount required to trigger the promotion.
