How Slab Promotion is applied in Odoo POS
The Slab promotion in Odoo POS motivates customers to spend more to reach specific discount thresholds. Customers receive discounts when they hit designated spending levels, providing added value for their purchases. As customers aim for higher spending to unlock discounts, the business benefits from increased sales volume.
Applying a Slab Promotion in the POS Cart
To apply a slab promotion, start by adding products to the POS cart. You can add products using their product code, barcode, or lot barcode. The promotion will only activate when the total cart amount exceeds the configured threshold. Once this limit is reached, the system automatically applies the slab promotion.
A promotion line appears in the POS cart showing both the discount applied and the discount amount. If the discount value calculated by the system exceeds the maximum permitted limit, Odoo POS automatically adjusts the discount to the maximum allowed amount.
For example, if a 10% discount is configured for bills exceeding ₹5000, the system will automatically apply the discount once the bill crosses this threshold. However, if the calculated discount exceeds the maximum allowed such as ₹300, the system applies only the maximum permitted amount, such as ₹300.
Similarly, if a 20% discount is offered for bills over ₹10000, and the calculated discount goes beyond the maximum limit such as ₹500, the system will apply only ₹500 as the maximum discount.
How the values are Calculated after Promotion
Odoo POS calculates slab promotions using a transparent and structured method. The total items value represents the number of unique product types in the cart, while the total quantity includes only purchased products.
The net value reflects the taxable amount for the purchased products, excluding discount items. Taxes are calculated based on this net value, and the final total displayed to the customer includes both the applied taxes and the slab discount.
Promotion Restrictions
To ensure accuracy and prevent manual errors, Odoo POS restricts any modification to the promotion line. If a cashier attempts to change the price, quantity, or discount applied to the promotion product, the system immediately displays a validation error stating: “Promotion lines do not change price, quantity, and line discount.” This restriction maintains consistent application of the slab promotion rules and ensures correct billing.
Completing the Slab Sale and Viewing Receipt Details
Completing the sale after the slab promotion is straightforward. The cashier selects the customer linked to the POS order, reviews the cart items along with the applied promotion, selects the preferred payment method, and then validates the order.
After finalizing the transaction, the printed receipt displays all product details including quantity, rate, tax, and totals. The discount product appears as a negative line, clearly showing the deduction applied through the slab promotion.
