Promotions vs Promotions Engine

[Former Member]

Hi,

We are using hybris 5.5.1 and using the legacy promotions module that hybris provides. As we are doing a marketplace implementation where there are lot of complicated promotions, we have almost done complete customization using JALO layer.

With hybris 6.0, promotion engine is shipped which uses DROOLS.

Has someone already used promotions engine with 6.0 and can throw some light on pros/cons with the engine?

Also we will need to understand the effort of migrating from hybris 5.5.1 and using 6.0.

Thanks. Saurabh

Hi Saurabh,

I am also reviewing the effect and efforts when migrating promotion code from 5.5. to 6.5. I have drafted a comparison table, to summarize my findings.

Please see it attached here as Comparison table - promotion support - 5 vs 6. I hope it helps you further in your research. Feedback is welcome.

Kind regards, Atanas

Hi Sorabh,

Using new Promotion engine you do not require to modify jalo layer infact not much modification is required as SAP has provided most of the things as OOB. If you need to customize promotions then it is easy and faster in the new version. Please let me know if you require any help in customizing promotions.

Thanks
