Discount Order Line

Purpose: Use the Discount Order Line window to apply a discount dollar amount or a discount percentage to a shipped item. You can also select to price the item at no charge.

How to display: In the Order Lines Panel on the Order Summary page, select the Discount option for a closed (shipped), unreturned order line.

Note:             

         The Discount option is available only for unreturned order lines in a closed status if the order is not locked by a user and you have authority to discount an order line.

         The Discount option is not available for ship-for-pickup orders if the Payment at POS for Ship for Pickup Orders (L60) system control value is selected.

         For set items, the Discount option displays for the set master item and not the set component items.

         To ensure the background async jobs update order related tables correctly, do not use this option against a shipped, unreturned order line in the same session that you add a new order line.

Price Override Limit Percent

Purpose: The Price Override Limit Percent (E55) system control value defines the percentage of the price override limit you can enter for items. The system uses the price defined in the item/offer to determine whether the price override exceeds the percentage. The override limit applies only to prices that are lower than the item/offer price. This is helpful in reducing the possibility of fraud by order entry operators.

Override Price Override Limit Authority

The Override Price Override Limit (A64) secured feature controls the ability to override the percentage defined in the Price Override Limit Percent (E55) system control value.

If you do not have authority to this secured feature, and:

         The price override exceeds the Price Override Limit Percent (E55), the system displays an error message if the entered price is less than the percentage allowed.

         The price override does not exceed the Price Override Limit Percent (E55), the system processes the order line if you enter a price that does not exceed the percentage.

If you have authority to this secured feature, and:

         The price override exceeds the Price Override Limit Percent (E55), the system processes the order line and writes a W order transaction history record for the price override. The W transaction history record shows you the line on the order where a price override occurred, the price override amount and the user ID of the person who performed the price override.

         The price override does not exceed the Price Override Limit Percent (E55), the system processes the order line.

Price Override Example

The system uses the following calculation to determine the percentage of the price override:

(offer price - price override entered) / offer price * 100 = price override percentage 

price override percentage = 10%

offer price = $40.00

price override = $35.00

(40.00 - 35.00) = 5.00

5.00/40.00 = .125

.125 * 100 = 12.50 (12.50 exceeds the 10% price override) 

Display Order Line Discount Message (F01)

If the Display Order Line Discount Messages (F01) system control value is selected, the system displays (Discounted) after the Unit Price for an item on the Order Summary page and Order Line Details page, allowing you to be able to tell when a discount has been applied to the item.

What Qualifies as a Discount?

Any price that is less than the single-unit offer price for the item is considered a discounted price. For example, the system displays (Discounted) for the following types of discount:

         manual price overrides

         quantity break by item

         special pricing by source code

         associate pricing

         price table pricing

If you use tax-inclusive pricing, the system compares the actual price with the tax-inclusive offer price to determine if the item is discounted.

The system does not display (Discounted) when you override the price on the order line, and:

         No item/SKU offer price exists, or

         The price override reason code’s Override item offer price is selected.

You can review how the price was calculated for the item and other information related to the order line on the Order Line Details page.
