Bonus Buy 
Use
Bonus buy conditions are special conditions that only apply when certain prerequisites and requirements you define are met. For example, you could offer a reduced price if customers buy a certain quantity of particular articles together or if they pay using a credit card.
You can also use bonus buys in connection with coupons (see
Promotion: Coupons and Bonus Buys).
Prerequisites
The articles to be included in a bonus buy must have been created using SAP Retail article maintenance. Moreover, EANs must be maintained for these articles.
Procedure
If necessary, you can create article groupings that also contain whole merchandise categories, promotions or layout areas.
For further information on article groupings, see
Article Grouping.
You create a bonus buy condition. In doing so you specify the following:
- whether you want the condition to be a fixed price, a fixed discount, a percentage discount or a free-goods discount.
- the article or grouping previously defined for which the system should grant the condition. You can also grant the condition on the basis of all the prerequisites or all the articles purchased together.
- which requirements are necessary for the bonus buy to be granted. This could be that the customer has to pay by customer card or that the value of the sale has to be over or under a certain amount.
- which prerequisites have to be met for a bonus buy to be granted. The customer usually has to buy a certain quantity of certain articles together or redeem a coupon. The articles involved can be single articles or articles belonging to a grouping you previously defined.
For further information on bonus buy conditions, see
Bonus Buy Conditions.
- You transfer the bonus buy conditions to the POS systems or the stores involved. To do this, you use the Direct Request for POS Outbound function.
You go to this function from the Article Grouping/Bonus Buy screen by choosing Edit POS outbound. For further information, see
Preparing Master Data .
The POS’s then take the data transferred into consideration by analyzing all the articles scanned in one transaction and by determining whether the articles are being purchased in the relevant combination. If so, the special offer is granted.
If a bonus buy condition is granted at the point of sale, the POS system notes the bonus buy number in the sales data.
When the sales data is transferred to the POS inbound interface, R/3 takes the bonus buy conditions granted into account.
Result
You can offer your customers special bonus buys. R/3 knows if a bonus buy applies and automatically takes the special conditions into account.
