IBM Sterling Ideas

Shape the future of IBM!

We invite you to shape the future of IBM, including product roadmaps, by submitting ideas that matter to you the most. Here's how it works:

Post your ideas

IBM is transforming its request for enhancement (RFE) process. The purpose of the transformation is to provide a more consistent experience for you to submit requests and to enable IBM product owners to respond to your requests more quickly. For more information click here.

Start by posting ideas and requests to enhance a product or service. Take a look at ideas others have posted and upvote them if they matter to you,
1. Post an idea
2. Upvote ideas that matter most to you
3. Get feedback from the IBM team to refine your idea

Help IBM prioritize your ideas and requests

The IBM team may need your help to refine the ideas so they may ask for more information or feedback. The offering manager team will then decide if they can begin working on your idea. If they can start during the next development cycle, they will put the idea on the priority list. Each team at IBM works on a different schedule, where some ideas can be implemented right away, others may be placed on a different schedule.

Receive notifications on the decision

Some ideas can be implemented at IBM, while others may not fit within the development plans for the product. In either case, the team will let you know as soon as possible. In some cases, we may be able to find alternatives for ideas which cannot be implemented in a reasonable time.

Provide option to prorate discount under ChargePerUnit and ChargePerLine while applying promotion in call center

Currently if we apply promo code during order creation in call center or applying promo code during order modification in call center, discount amount is getting applied under 'ChargePerLine', because of this discount amount is not excluding properly while order cancellation. Please find the detailed scenario below:

Promo code: $20 OFF on buying Item A, where Item A price is $150

Now CSR created order in call center for Item A with 3 quantity. As we have placed 3 quantity, discount will be 20 * 3 = $60 which is getting applied under 'ChargePerLine'

Line Total = $450
Discount = $60
Order Total = $390

Now, customer requests CSR has to cancel 1 quantity from the order and CSR proceeds cancelling 1 quantity

Now, Order Total should become $260 because ($150 * 2 = $300; discount is $40)
but as the discount is under 'ChargePerLine' order total is becoming $240 ($150 * 2 = $300; discount under ChargePerLine is $60)

As the discount is under 'ChargePerLine', proration is not happening properly.

Suppose, if the discount is under 'ChargePerUnit', then proration will happen properly

So, please provide an option to prorate discount under 'ChargePerUnit' and 'ChargePerLine'
