How to create custom promotion over Different model not on cart?

[ashishraik11]

We have a requirement where we need to create a scheme - when customer scans coupons for cash back from mobile app and satisfy conditions(number of coupons scanned/ amount exceeded than Rs.x/if coupon scanning happens in a particular time period/ if customer belongs to a preffred customer group), he will get a addtional cashback, it will not require cart or order process. Please note we do not have order/cart process in our project.
can we achieve this using hybris promotions engine?

Hi @ashishraik11 

The Promotion Engine is a cart-and-order-focused implementation of the Rule Engine | SAP Help Portal. 

Instead of extending the Promotion Engine, I would recommend utilizing the Rule Engine. For starters, look at Rule Engine Trail | SAP Help Portal

Here are some considerations when building an implementation on the Rule Engine:

1. What data does my custom rule engine need (customer groups, time, previous cash back) - this will influence the RAO (rule aware objects) going into the custom rule engine
2. What actions do the rules need to enact if the condition are met?

From a technical standpoint, you'll identify:

1. Data inputs (what data will need to be collected as RAOs)
2. Rule Type (aligning to your new rule engine)
3. Conditions (what conditions must be fulfilled)
4. Actions (what action needs to be taken if the conditions are met)
