Use this function to change the discount per order line. You can remove, add or change discount lines, and in this way modify the total discount for the order line. This function also enables you to work with multiple discounts, i.e., compose the total order line discount from combining several different types of discounts.
The discount that is automatically selected during the registration of the order line is presented on the top line in the lower part of the page. This discount may be derived from a price list, a customer or a customer agreement.
You can modify a discount line by changing the discount rate and the discount amount. You can add a new discount line or remove an existing line. You can also change the discount calculation basis by using partial sums.
Normally, the price in order currency displayed in the page header, is used as the basis for calculating the discount for a line. When you use price including tax functionality, the discount calculation basis is price including tax. If you enable the Partial Sum option in a line, the discount lines below this line will use the net price or net price including tax in order currency from the line with a partial sum as the basis for calculation. This means that it is possible to perform discount calculations on previously discounted prices. When you are using a partial sum, the order of the discount lines is significant and has an impact on the total discount. Therefore, you can choose if you want to insert a new line before or after an existing line. Partial sums may be selected on several lines. If such is the case, net price or net price including tax from the latest selected line will be used as the basis for calculating the succeeding lines.
A new discount will be calculated for each discount line in the Customer
Order Line Discount dialog. Depending on whether or not the partial
sum is used, the discount will be calculated upon either header price or a line
net price. The calculated discount amount will then be subtracted from the net
price on the line above, thus creating a new net price for the current line.
If you use price including tax functionality, it is based on either the
header price including tax or a line net price including tax. The calculated
discount amount will then be subtracted from the net price including tax on
the line above, thus creating a new net price including tax for the current
line. The net as well as the gross amount will be displayed in both order currency
and base currency. The gross amount is based on the Tax Code percentage used
on the customer order line.
All lines added or changed will receive the value Manual in the Discount Source column, regardless of whether the discount was originally obtained from an agreement, a price list, or a customer.
The total discount for the order line will be changed.
