What is Promotion Hierarchy?

Promotion Hierarchy is a new feature in the Xilnex Portal that allows users to define promotion eligibility by combining multiple item attributes within a single rule.

Instead of creating multiple separate promotion rules, users can configure a single row with multiple conditions using AND logic. For example:

• Item Brand = Nike
• Item Category = Running Shoes

The system will evaluate an item against all configured conditions. The promotion will only be applied when the item satisfies every condition in the rule.

Supported Conditions

Promotion Hierarchy currently supports the following item attributes:

• Item Code
• Item Category
• Item Brand
• Item Type
• Item Group
• Item Department
• Item Division
• Item Model
• Promotion Group

Rule Limitation

Within a single rule, each condition type can only be selected once.

Example (Supported):

• Item Brand = Nike
• Item Category = Running Shoes

Example (Not Supported):

• Item Brand = Nike
• Item Brand = Adidas

This limitation prevents duplicate condition types from being configured within the same rule.

Condition Operators

Promotion Hierarchy currently supports the following operators for each condition:

• Is – The item must match the selected value.
  • Example: Item Brand is Nike
  • Result: Only items with the Nike brand are eligible.
• Is Not – The item must not match the selected value.
  • Example: Item Brand is not Nike
  • Result: All item brands are eligible except Nike.

Note: Each condition type can only be configured once within a single rule. For example, you cannot configure both Item Brand = Nike and Item Brand = Adidas in the same rule.

Xilnex Classic POS Behaviour

For Xilnex Classic POS, promotion validation is performed based on all configured hierarchy conditions.

For example, if the promotion is configured with:

• Item Brand = Nike
• Item Category = Running Shoes

The POS will verify that the selected item belongs to the Nike brand and the Running Shoes category before applying the promotion.
