This promotion is well suited any “Buy 1 get 1 Free for Equal or Lesser Value” promotions.
You have the option to include any instruction items that are sold with the item that carry a price.
The discount amount is calculated only on the cheapest item within the sale.
It is possible to give customers the better deal within a promotion by offering them a true promotion of “Equal or lesser value”, whereby the customer can be favoured with a better discount.
With Multiple Trips, this will work out the Cheapest Item in the triggered quantity calculating from the most expensive item to the cheapest item.
Once a trigger occurs, calculation resumes onto the subsequent items.
How does it work?
Consider the following example:
The "Cheapest Item % Discount" Promotion is set to trigger on "Buy 2" items.
You sold 3 items and the promotion is triggered - the Sell Prices for each of the 3 items that were sold are one for $28, one for $25 and the other for $22.
Using the traditional Cheapest Item % Discount promotion, the customer would have to pay for both the $28 and $25 items, as the “cheapest” item at $22 would be discounted.
Using the FAVOURCUSTOMER option, the customer would have to pay for the $28 and $22 items, as the $25 item would be discounted.
This promotion type can take into effect Instruction items with prices.

Item Discounts will affect which item can be discounted, however if items are included in promotions, they should not be getting additional item discounts.
