This activity is used to manually calculate the order group discount, i.e. the order size discount based on the order’s total volume, total weight or the total net amount. Generally the reductions are calculated at the release of the customer order, i.e., when the order's status is raised to Released. If you add an order line after the release, a new group discount calculation must be made manually.
The order size discount is calculated based on the settings on the sales part and the discount rates defined in Sales part Discount Group.
Rental order lines are included in the group discounts calculation. If the basis for discount is order amount, the amount is calculated including the rental period (chargeable days) on the rental line. If the discount basis is weight or volume, the rental period is not considered. For rental lines no update of the group discount can be done if there are open rental events for the line.
