Multiple discount levels

Many organizations offer or receive more than one discount at a time. This is a common business practice that is supported if the Multiple Discount Levels Implemented check box is selected in the Pricing Parameters (tdpcg0100m000) session. Discount levels are used to set up flexible criteria to allocate discounts to, for example, sales orders and lines or purchase orders and lines.

You can specify up to five levels of discounts. The number of discounts that you can allocate to, for example, a sales order or a purchase order depends on the number of discount levels entered in the Number of Discount Levels field of the Pricing Parameters (tdpcg0100m000) session. In this session, you can specify how many discount levels your organization uses and define for each level how it is used. For example, you can define that for level one the first discount found is used, and that subsequent levels are used cumulatively.

For each level, you can define an order line discount and an order discount. You must define a matrix definition and a discount matrix for both the line discount and the total discount. For more information, refer to Setting up a discount matrix.

A discount can be expressed as a discount percentage or a discount amount. Amounts are calculated by unit and are deducted from the gross amount. Percentages can be calculated over the gross amount or the remaining net amount at the previous level.
