Discount Terms for a Detail Line

You can enter discount terms on a detail line to have the system calculate a discount on the items that you purchase. For example, a supplier might offer a 10 percent discount on certain items.

You can enter a specific discount factor for a detail line. The system enters a cost for the item on the detail line based on the discount factor. For example, to specify a 10 percent discount for an item, you enter a discount factor of 0.90. If the unit cost for the item is usually 10.00, the system enters a unit cost of 9.00.

You can also specify a discount for an item based on a price rule. The system applies a discount to the unit cost of the item based on the discount set up for the price rule. The system retrieves a default price rule for an item if:

• You have attached a price rule to branch/plant information for the item.

• You have attached the price rule to the supplier from whom you are purchasing the item (or to the price group for the supplier).
