Magento EE 1.11.2.0 doesn't have that check box for auto generating the coupon codes. See the below image.
I doubt whether this functionality has been introduced with later versions from Magento EE 1.14.x
Please any clue will be appreciated.
After a quick look at the source I think it should have this functionality.
The form in question is defined in Mage_Adminhtml_Block_Promo_Quote_Edit_Tab_Main::_prepareForm
It has a section of code which adds the coupon_type
form element like
$couponTypeFiled = $fieldset->addField('coupon_type', 'select', array(
'name' => 'coupon_type',
'label' => Mage::helper('salesrule')->__('Coupon'),
'required' => true,
'options' => Mage::getModel('salesrule/rule')->getCouponTypes(),
));
Mage_Salesrule_Model_Rule::getCouponTypes()
is defined like
/**
* Retrieve coupon types
*
* @return array
*/
public function getCouponTypes()
{
if ($this->_couponTypes === null) {
$this->_couponTypes = array(
Mage_SalesRule_Model_Rule::COUPON_TYPE_NO_COUPON => Mage::helper('salesrule')->__('No Coupon'),
Mage_SalesRule_Model_Rule::COUPON_TYPE_SPECIFIC => Mage::helper('salesrule')->__('Specific Coupon'),
);
$transport = new Varien_Object(array(
'coupon_types' => $this->_couponTypes,
'is_coupon_type_auto_visible' => false
));
Mage::dispatchEvent('salesrule_rule_get_coupon_types', array('transport' => $transport));
$this->_couponTypes = $transport->getCouponTypes();
if ($transport->getIsCouponTypeAutoVisible()) {
$this->_couponTypes[Mage_SalesRule_Model_Rule::COUPON_TYPE_AUTO] = Mage::helper('salesrule')->__('Auto');
}
}
return $this->_couponTypes;
}
You can see that the auto coupon type is toggled and controlled by an observer salesrule_rule_get_coupon_types
.
The only vanilla observer for this that I can see is the Enterprise_Reminder_Model_Observer::getCouponTypes
method which is defined like
public function getCouponTypes($observer)
{
if ($transport = $observer->getEvent()->getTransport()) {
$transport->setIsCouponTypeAutoVisible(true);
}
return $this;
}
If you're not seeing this auto option appearing, I would make sure the Enterprise_Reminder module is enabled in app/etc/modules/Enterprise_Reminder.xml
If it still isn't appearing, make sure no other observer is defined with an xml path like
<events>
<salesrule_rule_get_coupon_types>
<observers>
<enterprise_reminder>
