What This Page Is For​

Use Coupons when discounts should be represented as managed codes or controlled promotional instruments instead of ad-hoc manual discounts in transactions.

What You See on the Page​

In the current live demo, no coupons are configured, but the live list structure shows fields such as:

  • Name
  • Type
  • Code
  • Standard value
  • Neutral
  • Reserved codes
  • Booked codes

This structure makes it clear that coupons are managed as named commercial objects, not just one-off text fields.

Promotion vs Individual Coupon Logic​

The most useful explanation for users is:

  • Promotion coupons are broad discount mechanisms meant for repeated or campaign-wide use.
  • Individual coupons are tied to a more specific recipient, code, or redemption context.

Typical Use Cases​

  • campaign-specific discount codes
  • controlled one-time customer incentives
  • reusable promotional offers with managed redemption tracking

Coupons vs Price Lists​

  • Coupons are redeemable codes or promotion objects.
  • Price Lists are structured pricing rules that apply to articles or accounts.

Use coupons when redemption or code handling matters. Use price lists when the pricing rule should apply systematically without a code.

Where Coupons Are Usually Applied​

The current live demo does not contain configured coupons, so end-user training should describe the typical model carefully: coupons are generally redeemed in the customer sales flow, for example in quote, order, invoice, or other commerce-facing processes depending on tenant setup.

Best Practices​

  • Treat coupon creation as part of the pricing strategy, not as random transaction editing.
  • Use meaningful names and codes.
  • Review reserved and booked counts to understand whether the coupon is still active or exhausted in practice.
  • Coordinate coupon usage with price lists and campaign planning.
  • Price Lists - Alternative commercial pricing structures.
  • Campaigns - Promotions often belong to broader campaigns.
  • Invoicing - Sales transactions are where discount logic is eventually applied.
