Creating a Volume Discount Record

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, and the start and end dates.

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

2. In the Volume Discounts list, click New.

   A new Volume Discount record appears.
