Promotion Tiers
Promotions can now be grouped into "promotion tiers". Organizing promotions into tiers will affect the order in which promotions are applied.
The new order is as follows:
Promotions are applied by tier. (Promotions with no tier are applied first.)
Within each tier, promotions are applied by type.
Within each type, promotions are applied from oldest to newest.
Why Promotion Order Might Matter
At most one item-level discount can apply to one item. (An "item-level discount" is, for example, "25% off this particular product or product group"). If two promotions offer competing discounts for the same items, only the first one will actually apply.
Some promotions may have restrictions such as, "Do not apply this discount to items that are already discounted". It might be useful to ensure that such a promotion is always the last one to apply.
