Setting up a discount schedule
Discount schedules are used to calculate discounts for an item. The discounts specified in a discount schedule are expressed as a percentage or an amount and are subject to a minimum or maximum quantity or value.
A discount schedule includes the following elements:
- A discount schedule header, which contains the code, type, and use of the discount schedule
- One or more discount schedule lines, which contain the discounts
Note:
- You can also use the Discount Schedule (tdpcg0612m000) session to specify a discount schedule header and discount schedule lines.
- When you link a discount schedule to a price book in the Price Book Lines (tdpcg0131m000) session, additional discounts for items are applied via the discount schedule on the price book.
- If a matrix structure exists, discount schedules are specified in the Sales Line Discount Matrices (tdpcg0130m110), Sales Total Discount Matrices (tdpcg0130m120), Purchase Line Discount Matrices (tdpcg0130m130), or Purchase Total Discount Matrices (tdpcg0130m140) sessions.
- You can link one or more discount schedules to a contract. For more information, refer to Discount schedules on contracts.
