Recalculate prices and discounts

In the Recalculate Prices and Discounts fields on the Sales and Purchase tabs of the Pricing Parameters (tdpcg0100m000) session, you can define how LN recalculates prices and discounts for an order or order line.

For these fields, you can select the following values:

  • No
    Prices and discounts are not recalculated unless the user selects Recalculate Price/Discounts from the appropriate menu for the order (line) that requires recalculation.
  • Interactive
    After approving an order or an order line, the Price and Discount Recalculation Parameters (tdpcg0240s000) session is displayed. This session offers various recalculation options.
  • Automatic
    Prices and discounts are automatically recalculated after approving an order or an order line. To recalculate prices and discounts for sales order lines and prices for purchase order lines, you can also select Recalculate Price/Discounts from the appropriate menu.

By default, the Recalculate Prices and Discounts fields are set to Automatic. However, each time prices and discounts are recalculated, performance decreases and additional history records are logged if prices are changed. For companies without a complex pricing set up, such as those without a link between order lines and price breaks, it is advised to set these fields to No to save performance and limit data growth.
