1st Window Price Change Type

Go to Parameters -> Discounts -> Price Change Type. In this window, you can define the formal data of the price changes, i.e.

• You give the price change type a unique number,
• by defining the category, you define the type of the price change,
• You define if there will be a redistribution (VAT entry or assignment of a totalizer) etc.

Note on the option Price Change %

• Only activate this option if you would like to grant totalizer-dependent graduated discounts which you will then define in the window Price Change %. The non-totalizer-related discounts are maintained via Price Change Parameter.

Save your entries.

2nd Window Price Change %

In this window, you configure the totalizer-dependent (graduated) discounts. When a particular turnover value is reached, the defined percent discount will be given.

Enter the number of the appropriate totalizer, then enter the purchase sum to be reached for the discount in the field Minimum Value, and finally enter the percent value.

Close the window. The entries have to be saved in the window Price Change Type.

Note:

• The entries will only become effective if the option Price Change % in the window Price Change Type has been activated. In addition, you should also activate the option Totaliser dependent. If you do not activate it, please record only 1 percent value in the table (otherwise all percent values stored there will always be calculated).

3rd Window Price Change Parameter

Select the window Price Change Parameter via the appropriate button. Up to now, you only have defined the formal data; via the parameters, however, you will define exactly the conditions under which discounts will be given. Among others, you will define:

• the maximum and minimum discount
• a possible quantity limit
• minimum turnover
• preset values (percent or value)
• etc.

Save your entries, and close the window.

4th Window Keys

For price changes given within a booking transaction by manual entry, the key with the code fDISC has to be configured. For this, go to System -> Configuration -> Keyboard (select the connected keyboard here) -> Keys. Define:

• the position of the key by entering the row and column
• Enter fDISC in the field Event Name,
• and the number of the payment type in the field Event Data.

Close the window, and save your entries in the window Keyboard.

Note:

• The keyboard maintenance does not apply if the discount is assigned directly to a payment type.

---

5th Window Payment Type

You can link a discount directly to a payment type. A typical example: In cases of cheque payment, a handling charge of EUR 0.50 will be charged. With such a linkage, the Key Maintenance described above does not apply. An example can be found in the chapter Automatic Surcharge.
