Creating a Volume Discount Record

This task is a step in Process of Setting Up a Volume Discount.

A volume discount record provides the top-level information about a volume discount, including its name, whether it is a simple or tiered volume discount, its start and end dates, and its currency.

CAUTION:  If you delete a volume discount record, then all references to this discount become invalid. Any price list line items that used this discount will no longer have a volume discount.

To create a volume discount record

1. Navigate to the Administration - Pricing screen, then Volume Discount view.
2. Add a new record to the Volume Discounts list and complete the necessary fields. Some fields are described in the following table:

   Field	Comments
   Name	Enter a name for this volume discount.
   Discount Method	Select a method from the picklist. The options are Simple and Tiered, as described in About Volume Discounts.
   Start Date	Enter the date when this volume discount becomes effective.
   End Date	Enter the date when this volume discount becomes ineffective. If the volume discount will not expire, then leave this field blank.
   Currency	Enter the currency in which the volume discount is applied.
   Exchange Date	If you are converting currencies, then enter the date for the currency exchange rate. The Siebel application will use the exchange rate on that day to convert currency.
