Discount Gadget

The Discount gadget displays in order wizards and properties to assist you in selecting a vendor discount for an orderline price. Typically, TABLE is the default discount rate value, indicating that the discount table defined for the current fiscal cycle for the vendor used for the order will be used to calculate the extended price when the orderline is updated.

To select a vendor discount, do the following.

1

Click the Discount gadget.

None

If you select None, any discount that is currently defined in the vendor’s fiscal cycle for the order will be overridden, an no discount will be applied for this particular orderline. NONE, 0.00, or a blank field are all valid values to represent a discount type None. The gadget inserts a blank if None is selected, and the field displays as 0.00 when an orderline is modified that was ordered without a discount, such as by selecting None using the gadget or by manually typing NONE or 0.00 directly into the discount field.

Vendor

If you select Vendor, each vendor may be assigned a specific discount for the entire fiscal cycle. If a discount is assigned for the vendor cycle, the vendor’s discount table will be used to calculate the discount. The vendor discount may be based on a certain amount ordered (monetary), based on a certain number of copies ordered (quantity), a standard percentage discount (which could be defined either as a monetary or a quantity discount), or no discount (none).

Fixed

If you select Fixed, any discount that is currently defined in the vendor’s fiscal cycle for the order will be overridden with the discount you specify. You may indicate a unique discount value which is not tied to the vendor cycle record. If a vendor’s discount table is updated, it will not affect any orderline for that vendor which has a Specified discount. To specify a discount, type a percentage expressed as a whole number with two decimal places. For example, 15% would be expressed as 15.00.
