Deleting a parent rebate also deletes all associated child rebates. If you select a parent rebate and choose Delete you will get a warning. If you proceed, the deletion can not be undone.

The Child rebate type rule allows you to create a parent/to create a parent-child relationship where the in which the result of a calculation for one rebate is applied to other rebates but with additional conditions. The  child child automatically takes on the brackets of the parent, and but you choose certain select entities to be included or excluded. For example, you could use 'alternate bracket' to target a customer on their overall spend but give them a rebate amount based on a certain product or selection of products ('Once the customer spends $10,000 overall, they will receive a 10% rebate on their spend on Product A').

To do this:

Identify the parent rebate you want to use, or set up a new parent rebate.

Create the parent-child relationship

The relationship starts with the parent.

  1. Identify the existing rule you want to use as the parent or create a rule to use as the parent. Then set up that rule as required:

    • The brackets you set here

flow on to any related child rebates.
  • Create a new rebate.
  • In the Name & Scope section,
      • will flow onto the child rules.

      • It’s useful to edit its name to reflect that it’s a parent. You might also want to add a description, so you and others can quickly understand the family connections when looking at the Rule page.

      • The bracket and other settings inherited from the parent rule are now unavailable.

      • Set inclusions or exclusions, if required.  For example, you could use a parent rule to target a customer on their overall spend, and various child rules to apply these rebate amounts to a certain product or selection of products.  E.g. once a customer spends $10,000 overall they will unlock a 10% rebate (parent rule).  That 10% rebate is applied to their $500 spend on Product A (child rule).  In this example, the child rebate amount is $50 (10% of $500).

    1. Create additional child rules as required.

    View the child rules belonging to a parent

    Open the parent rule and expand the Children tab. Click a blue child link to open that rule’s setup.
