Can't figure out Manager > Products > Category > BOGO Deal

[Courtright]

So in the Manager Window under Products > Category the BOGO deal was added in V13 and we want to implement it but no matter the value I input for a category it is not changing the price during the sale at all.

I ring up 2 (or more) products within that category and the price stays the same.

What am I missing?

What is not clear is that is Not BOGO Free by Category.  It's Buy One Get One discounted by the category discount.  You need to Open the Category window and put in a percentage discount.

BTW - You can make it free with 100% discount.

I am not looking to do a BOGO Free but use it as intended as BOGO (Buy One Get One) percentage off.  For instance Buy 1 Get 1 at 50% off.

I have...

1) input 50 and gotten zero results

2) put in .5 thinking 50% equates to .5 and gotten zero results.

3) put in "50%" and I get zero results.

No matter everything I try if I then grab 2 items within that Category and try and sell them it does not discount that category.

I can take a video and upload it to YouTube if need be.

Did you enter the discount here?

Products eligible for the discount need to be selected.

Just as a note for the future it would be greatly helpful however to tell the user how to get to the screen where the adjustment needs to be made.  I feel very dumb that I have spent 20 minutes on a system I use everyday for years and I just can't find that screen.  I checked every thing I can.  When I go to MANAGER CONTROL > PRODUCTS > DISCOUNTS it's a different screen, same with Discount Level.  No matter where I look I cannot find that screen you took a screencap of.

Thanks if you can point me where to look.

In the Product Control window use the search to list in the window a product you want to get the discount.  Select the product you want to use that discount.  Open the edit window with that product and click on the Discounts button.  Select the "Buy 1 Get 1 Discount by Category%".  Now this product is 'marked' as using a discount by it's category.
Only products that are selected in this way will receive any of the discount options.

GOTCHA!  Yup, I see the window now. 

If you have a Category with 1,000 products in it I take it there is no easy way to do this for all is there?
