Discount an Order Line

1.      Select a price discount method from the Price Discount Method drop-down box. Valid values are Discount Price, Discount% Off Price, and No Charge.

2.      Define the discount:

         If you selected Discount Price, enter the Discount Price you wish to apply to the order line and define a Price Override Reason. The current price of the item defaults allowing you to override it to a lower price.

         If you selected Discount% Off Price, enter the Discount% Off Price percentage you wish to apply to the order line and define a Price Override Reason.

         If you selected No Charge, define a Price Override Reason.

3.      Select Update Order Line. The system validates your entries. An error message displays if:

         You do not select a price override reason from the Price Override Reason field.

         The price in the Discount Price field is greater than the original price on the order line.

         The price in the Discount Price field is less than the percentage discount allowed by the Price Override Limit Percent (E55) system control value and you do not have authority to the Override Price Override Limit (A64) secured feature.

         The discount percentage entered in the Discount% Off Price field is greater than the percentage defined in the Price Override Limit Percent (E55) system control value and you do not have authority to the Override Price Override Limit (A64) secured feature.

4.      If the update is successful, the system:

         Returns you to the previous page and displays a message indicating the order line was updated.

         If you entered a Discount Price, updates the Unit Price of the order line to this price.

         If you entered a Discount % Off Price, applies the discount percentage to the dollar amount in the Unit Price field.

         If you selected No Charge, updates the Unit Price to zero.

         If the discount resulted in a reduction in freight charges, updates the order with the reduced freight amount and includes the reduction when processing the credit invoice for the discount. For example, the freight total might be reduced if the freight calculation is based on the merchandise total, which has now decreased below a specified level.

         Reduces the tax amount on the order based on the discount amount.

         Creates an order transaction history message indicating the item has been discounted.

         If the Display Order Line Discount Message (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.

         Generates a refund for the discounted amount plus any reduction in freight or tax.
