The way Monsoon Order Manager handles coupons when orders are imported depends on how the shopping cart stores the coupon information.
In some cases, Monsoon Order Manager may not be able to distinguish between percentage off coupons and dollar off coupons in some incoming orders. If so, it defaults to treating the coupon as if it is a dollar off coupon. This means that if an order is changed after it is imported into Monsoon Order Manager , the program does not recalculate the order total as it would if the coupon was a percentage off coupon. In this case, the only way to apply the percentage off coupon is to manually delete the line item adjustment at the Orders screen and re-add the coupon to the order by selecting the Coupon link next to the Original and Revised columns.
By default, the Monsoon Order Manager applies coupons to orders before it applies sales tax. Shopping carts which adhere to Monsoon Order Manager 's XML specifications, as outlined in the Developers Guide, can control whether a coupon or discount is processed before or after sales tax is calculated.
To control how the program calculates sales tax when taxable and non-taxable items are on the same order, see system parameter ProrateDiscountsForTaxes, which was introduced in Version 5.913.
