Defining the Criteria of a Promotion
You must define the criteria for a promotion before making it available to customers. If a sales representative wants to apply this promotion to a customer's purchase, the criteria you define here will determine if that purchase qualifies for the promotion.
You can define two types of criteria based on:
any the past purchases of customers or rolled up metrics of past purchases.
data from the line item, header, lookup objects, and child objects of the lookup objects for a quote or an order.
You can also define additional filter criteria to determine which products this promotion applies to.
To define the scope of your new promotion,
On the left side work pane, click Criteria.
