Setting Up Simple Volume and Tiered Discounts in Consumer Goods Handheld

To set up a volume discounting structure that can be used in the Siebel Consumer Goods Handheld application, you need to work in the Pricing Administration screen in the Siebel Web Client. There are two discount types that you can set up: Simple discounts and tiered discounts.

For example, when you are selling large volumes of product, you may offer promotional pricing. With a simple discount, zero to 15 product units may equal a 2% discount, 16 to 30 product units may equals a 4% discount, and 31 to 50 units may equal a 6% discount, and so on. With a tiered discount the first 15 product units may receive a 2% discount, the second 15 product units a 4% discount, and the last 19 a 6% discount.
