Josh and I worked on getting his "set manager discounts (discount engine)" tool up and ready as a beta release. We went through the code, made a number of changes, and did some testing. Great meeting. This is Josh's first core adilas piece that is being launched.

By the time we were done, we were able to merge in his code to the master branch. We had to run a database update and activate a permission. All servers got new code and the database updates but we only pushed the permission on data 0 and on data 3. Josh has a client who has volunteered to help beta test his discount engine. Our plan is to help all servers go live on Monday with the new discount engine.

The new discount engine allows for a discount/campaign to be named, set a percentage off or dollars off, tie it to a customer type, a part category, or an individual item or part. The engine also allows for date/time discounts including daily, specific days of the week, and even time based (every Tuesday from 4 pm to 6 pm).

The other cool thing is the system is actually setup to add discounts on discounts up to a set max. For a beta release, I'm happy and I know that Josh is super excited. We'll do some fine tuning and then do a full release. We also talked about some possible video clips and maybe some tutorials. Exciting.
