Discount Groups

In this topic, you will learn how to set up discount groups to meet your pricing needs.

Here are some key points:

1. Discount Groups can be set up for specific BPs, BP groups or all BPs.
2. Within a discount group you can set discounts on item groups, properties, manufacturers or items. If multiple discounts for properties are set in a discount group, a rule is used to determine how to apply the discounts.
3. Discounts can be based on a fixed percentage or on a variable quantity purchased.  The latter is used for giving free goods.
4. New items are automatically added to any applicable discount groups based on item groups, properties or manufacturers.
5. Items and business partners can be excluded from discount groups.
6. Discount groups can have validity periods or be marked as inactive.
7. Effective discount rules resolve situations where multiple discount groups apply in a marketing document.
8. Discount Groups contain only discounts, not unit prices.   Once a discount group is applied to a document row, the system will continue to look for a unit price on a pricelist.
