//// notes from a meeting between steve, eric, and brandon - 2/2/17

- we need a way to limit discounts - maybe a corp-wide setting

- maybe think about discount rules

- maybe on the item level adding a flag "allow discounts"
	- this is on the per item level
	- we may need a flag on the child as well...

- on discounts, maybe go up to the category level
	- maybe allow a switch to cascade from this level down... top level block

- we need to break the part categories into sub categories

- it may get deeper and get into smart carts, discount rules, categories, sub categories, parent items, children items,
	 QR codes, barcodes, my cart favorite buttons, rules and assignments, auto apply, in-line discounts, 
	 percentages and dollars off, gift cards, credits, loyalty points, ..... how deep do we want to go.

- we can see discounts going clear down to a child level - per package

- redemtion of loyaly points

- inheritance - how deep and which direction

- what about promotion codes, coupons, campaigns, sales, and special deals

- we have generic discounts (per customer type, per customer, per cart, per ....)

- we also have special discounts (special time frame, special rate, special quantity)

- we are seeing three main levels: category, item, and subs

- we may need some pricing matrix options and rules

- this may get into conversions - we have a whole bunch of other notes on this subject

- we may need a time specific sale, discount rate, or campaign

- how easy is it to turn a sale and/or campaign on - what if they were preset and could go off at a specific time or the click of a switch

- eric has done a ton of these things... we need to tap into some of the knowledge and experience

- as an idea... what if we let people setup special reserved word... or we setup some new ones such as: gift card, loyalty points, loyalty points redemtion, etc.
	- there is no way we could get it right for everybody... we need to empower the users and persons setting up the system
	- it may be better to allow them to create it, name it, and then set the rules on how it plays

- if we had loyalty point setup, we may also want to include those values on the bottom of the invoice
	- we may also want to show these points outside in the ecommerce level

- most of eric's clients want him to enforce the rules... no touchy on certain things

- our users want easy setup stuff, custom button, and easy to use functionality
