Promotions - Rolling

A Rolling Promotion discounts items when purchased at specific quantities. This type of promotion requires you to define a discount for each desired quantity level. When each defined quantity is reached, items are discounted for the specific level. Rolling promotions enable you to apply a different discount percentage to each quantity level.  Rolling promotions are different from quantity promotions. A regular quantity promotion is applied to the specific quantity indicated on the promotion. In contrast, a rolling promotion applies the discount to the specific quantity as well as all units above the specified quantity (until the next level is met). So if the promotion offers 20% off for the purchase of 25 units, the customer will also get 20% off if on the 26th, 27th, 28th and so on units.
Consider the following quantity levels and discount percentages:
