Why Are Bundle Product Tier Prices a Percent Value in Magento?

Architecturebundled-productpricetierprice

My question is not a coding but architectural one.

So for simple products, downloadable, grouped and configurable products the tier pricing uses a monetary value for for each price e.g. 20.59 in what ever currency you are using.

When you start to work with bundle products you see that the tier price is using a percentage discount on the product's base price.

Does anyone know the reasoning behind this?

I think this is, because the price of the bundle product is generated from the simple items you choose, therefore it is most of the time not possible to get ONE price which is used for all combinations.

Magento – How to add a “Downloadable Product” to a Bundle

You cannot override XML files in app/code/local, only PHP classes that are loaded by the Magento autoloader (nor is it the "proper way" to override classes there, if you can use a rewrite instead).

What you should do instead, is create an own module with two files

app/etc/modules/Your_DownloadableBundle.xml
app/code/local/Your/DownloadableBundle/etc/config.xml

Since configuration files are merged, you only need to add the node bundle/allowed_selection_types/downloadable in this config.xml.
