Working with substitutions
Substitutions
A Substitution is basically used when you want to offer a product that would replace another one for the same pricing conditions as the substituted item. This is a common scenario when selling consumer packaged goods to have for a promotional/season period to offer a more valueable item for the same condition as the standard one (example: a +50% volume conditioner at the price of the standard one).
With Substitution feature you don’t have to remember the reference of the promotional item. Customer just have to place its order as usual, then the Substitution feature will automatically replace with the promotional item an apply the price calculation defines for the standard item.
Unlike Discount or Free Item, Substitution will therefore modify the input sales line with changing the item No.
