This is a refactoring of the product promotion engine in order to ove…
…rcome some limitations that prevented it to select and apply the best set of promotions under special conditions. Example: Consider two promotions: * consider two products: Product A, with price $20, and Product B, with price $40 * Promotion 1: 20% discount on all the products in a category containing Product A and Product B * Promotion 2: 40% discount on Product A When Product A and Product B are both in the cart: * Expected behavior: on Product A the Promotion 2 should be applied i.e. 40% discount, and on Product B Promotion 1 should be applied i.e. 20% discount. ** Summary Product Price Discount Subtotal A $20 $8 (40% discount) $12 B $40 $8 (20% discount) $32 Total Adjustment: $16 * OFBiz behavior (before this fix): Promotion 1 is applied to Product A and Product B; this happens because the total discount of Promotion 1 is greater than the total discount of Promotion 2 and OFBiz applies promotions sorted by discount (desc) ** Summary Product Price Discount Subtotal A $20 $4 (20% discount) $16 B $40 $8 (20% discount) $32 Total Adjustment: $12 The new solution fixes this issue and similar ones. Here are some details about the new algorithm. Overview of the flow: 1) run the promotions one by one in a test run 2) collect the ProductPromoUse information 3) sort them by weight (i.e. the ratio between the discount and the value of the products discounted) 4) execute the ProductPromoUse in the given order In order to understand this solution, and specifically the changes to ProductPromoWorker.java, there is an important concept to consider: one Promotion can generate more than one ProductPromoUseInfo objects. For example if I have 2 units of WG-1111 in the cart (in one cart item) and I have the promotion “20% discount on WG-1111 and GZ-1000” then the system will create TWO ProductPromoUseInfo objects both associated to the same promotion one for each of the 2 units discounted. Similarly if I had two lines: 2 units of WG-1111 and 1 unit of GZ-1000 I would get 3 ProductPromoUseInfo objects 2 objects for WG-1111 and 1 object for GZ-1000 We can sort these ProductPromoUseInfo objects based on their weight (i.e. the ratio between the discount and the value of the products discounted) in desc order and now we have a sorted list of ProductPromoUseInfo objects ready to be executed However we only want to execute each of them once and for this reason we set (in memory, not in the DB) the useLimitPerOrder to 1 in the first ProductPromoUseInfo of a given promotion and then to 2 if the same ProductPromoUseInfo is associated to the same promotion etc... in this way the end result is that the system will generate, as we desire, ONE ProductPromoUseInfo only for each of the ProductPromoUseInfo in the list. Here is an example: we have 2 promotions: PROMO A PROMO B After test run: ProductPromoUseInfo - PROMO A - #1 - weight 0.3 ProductPromoUseInfo - PROMO A - #2 - weight 0.3 ProductPromoUseInfo - PROMO B - #1 - weight 0.4 After sorting: ProductPromoUseInfo - PROMO B - #1 - weight 0.4 ProductPromoUseInfo - PROMO A - #1 - weight 0.3 ProductPromoUseInfo - PROMO A - #2 - weight 0.3 Based on this we create a list (sortedExplodedProductPromoList) of ProductPromo: PROMO B - with useLimitPerOrder=1 PROMO A - with useLimitPerOrder=1 PROMO A - with useLimitPerOrder=2 When we apply these to the cart we get the following results: PROMO B - with useLimitPerOrder=1 APPLIED PROMO A - with useLimitPerOrder=1 APPLIED PROMO A - with useLimitPerOrder=2 NOT APPLIED (because PROMO B used the item) git-svn-id: https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/ofbiz/trunk@1554265 13f79535-47bb-0310-9956-ffa450edef68
