Pricing Table an % discounts

Hi folks,

Is there anyway to enter a % discount in the pricing table so I can create a
price_group based on % discounts rather than values?

I tried entering -10% into the table as a trial but it returned a price of
0.00 rather than deducting 10%.

Thanks,
Andy.

You can do this by modifying the CommonAdjust setting in your
catalog.cfg like this (untested):

CommonAdjust :sale_price, ;:price, ;$, :related, ==:options, pricing:q5,q10

Note that once you do that ALL the prices in the pricing table will be
applied as adjustments, and not used as initial prices.

Hi Peter,

Thanks for the reply, my common adjust is set to:-

CommonAdjust pricing:q2,q5,q10,q25,q100 ;:sale_price, ;:price, ;$,
==:options

However percent discounts do not work, in the q fields only actual prices
work. I see back in the maillist from 2001 there is a comment that NN.NN%
discounts do not work in the pricing table and a request was made for it to
be fixed, can anyone confirm whether the pricing table should be capable of
accepting an NN.NN% discount?

Looking at Kevins RTFM site on pricing with commonadjust:-

http://www.interchange.rtfm.info/icdocs/Price_maintenance_with_CommonAdjust.
html

It seems to indicate that NN.NN% can be used with commonadjust but it
doesn't say whether this would be valid in the pricing table.

I am trying to setup price groups with percentage discounts, if I can't do
this its going to mean manually populating the pricing table with 6000
entries :-(

Thanks,
Andy.

Adjusting my above example to work the way you want:
CommonAdjust :sale_price, ;:price, ;$, ==:options,
pricing:q2,q5,q10,q25,q100

Yes, but you have to have something to apply the discount *to* which
needs to go before the discount

It will work fine if you set it properly, but like I said before, the
only caveat is that you can't have both absolute pricing and discounts
in the same table column, you have to pick one or the other.
