Adjustments

Adjustments are closely tied to orders in Sylius. They influence the total amount of an order and can be applied at different levels:

• Order Level

• OrderItem Level

• OrderItemUnit Level

Types of Adjustments

Adjustments can be divided into three main groups:

Promotion Adjustments

Applied when promotions or discounts are used

• Example: Order Promotion Adjustments, OrderItem Promotion Adjustments

Shipping Adjustments

Applied to the cost of shipping

• Example: Shipping Adjustments, Shipping Promotion Adjustments

Tax Adjustments

Applied to calculate taxes on orders

• Example: Tax Adjustments

Positive vs Negative Adjustments

Positive Adjustments	Negative Adjustments
These are charges that increase the total amount (e.g., shipping fees, taxes)	These are discounts that reduce the total amount (e.g., promotional discounts)

Creating an Adjustment Programmatically

Adjustments need to be linked to an order to make sense. Here’s how you can create one:

1. Get the Adjustment Factory

   First, you’ll need to get the adjustment factory and create a new adjustment instance.

   /** @var AdjustmentInterface $adjustment */
   $adjustment = $this->container->get('sylius.factory.adjustment')->createNew();

2. Set the Adjustment Type and Amount

   • Set the type of the adjustment (available types are found in AdjustmentInterface).

   • Provide the amount (in the base currency).

   • Optionally, set whether the adjustment is neutral (neutral adjustments don’t affect the total like taxes already included in the price).

   $adjustment->setType(AdjustmentInterface::ORDER_PROMOTION_ADJUSTMENT);
   $adjustment->setAmount(200); // Amount in base currency
   $adjustment->setNeutral(false); // Affects the total
   $adjustment->setLabel('Test Promotion Adjustment');

3. Add the Adjustment to an Order

   After setting up the adjustment, add it to the relevant order:

   $order->addAdjustment($adjustment);

4. Save the Changes

   To apply the changes, update the order in the database:

   $this->container->get('sylius.manager.order')->flush();

Adding Adjustments to Order Items or Item Units

If you want to add adjustments at the OrderItem level, make sure the adjustment is attached to the OrderItem. If it’s for an OrderItemUnit, apply it at the OrderItemUnit level.

Adjustments on different levels affect only that specific part of the order.

Locking an Adjustment

You can lock an adjustment to prevent it from being removed during recalculations. This is useful for scenarios like expired promotions that still need to be applied to the order.

$adjustment->lock();

For example, if a promotion is no longer applicable but you still want it to be applied (e.g., an expired coupon), locking the adjustment ensures it remains active.
