PD Special Price Type Discount Setup overview

Pricing and Discounting > Setup > Special Price Type Discount

Function acronym: PDSS

Use this page to create special price type discounts that are used in Sales Order Entry to calculate additional line item discounts.

Line items with the same product price type are added together to qualify for a better discount. This occurs each time you add or change a line that qualifies for the discount. The discount is prorated during sales invoice processing for each line that qualifies, based on the net amount on each line.

Special price type discounts are generally given if a customer orders several related products on one order. Set up each record for an indefinite amount of time, or set an ending date to limit the length of time the discount is valid.

Note:  Special discounts cannot be applied to untied returns. Without a tie, the order date cannot be identified. It cannot be determined if any special discounts were in effect at the time of the order. If the return is tied to an order, the prorated special discount is applied to the return line.

Select the Special Price Type Discounts option in SA Administrator Options-Products-Pricing to enable these discounts.
