		  base price to calculate the unit price. The value specified for the price

		  from the order line is taken into account when the total order value is
		  calculated. The total order value determines whether an order discount can be
		  applied to an order. Eligible If this check box is selected, and if an order discount
		  can be applied to an order, the order line is eligible for receiving the order
		  discount when distributing the discount among the order lines of an order. If this check box is cleared, the order line is excluded
			 from receiving an order discount when distributing the discount among the order
			 lines of an order. Other lines of the same order can still be eligible for the
			 discount. Stop Discounting If this check box is selected, and a discount is found,
		  the discount retrieving process stops. Price List List of default prices and discounts for customers and
