Let's see how you can quickly set up Additive Discounts. We have provided specific scenarios/requirements for each Additive Discount Definition example.

Tip

For the modules, sections and attributes not mentioned you don't need to make any configuration.

Business Requirement

Company ZX requires agents to have access to a selection of Discounts to offer customers with serious complaints. These Discounts should be monitored, i.e. confirmed by the Customer Centre Supervisor before being applied to the Bill of the customer.

The Discounts should not exceed 20.00 per month, and they should only be offered to customers up to 3 times a year. Additionally, the Discount should only apply to the customer's Main Service and not to any additional services they are provided.

The Discount should only be available until 31/12/2015 as the business reconsiders and revises its business rules on a yearly basis.
