Discounts (AR209500)

This topic provides information about the elements in this window in Visma Net, such as fields, field values, buttons, and check boxes.

You use this window to define the series for discount codes. A discount series specifies exactly how the discount is calculated, based on the amount or quantity of the line item, or on the amount of the document. A series for a discount includes a list of breakpoints, with each break point specifying the range of line amounts, line quantities, or document amounts that are qualified for the specific discount amount or percentage.

This window is available only if the Customer and supplier discounts functionality is enabled in the Enable/disable functionalities (CS100000) window.

## Search line in list window If you are in the list window, the first line in the table is a search line. Each column has a search field which you can click to search for or filter on specific values and narrow down the displayed table rows. You can search and filter in as many columns as you need to, to only display the results you want to view. There are two types of search fields: + White: here you can type a specific search term to display results in this column containing this exact value. If you search on several (partial) words, you can separate them by a space or **%** and get different results: + space: the result contains the words in any order, + **%**: the result contains the words in the specific order, and the **%** functions as a wildcard as well. + Grey: you can click this to open the column filter pop-up window where you can filter the results for this column.

The Update discounts dialog box

You use this dialog box to select discount series by pending date and to update the discounts.

Element	Description
Filter date	The latest pending date to select discount series for updating.
OK (button)	Updates the discounts that are selected based on the specified date.
Cancel (button)	Cancels your selection and closes the dialog box.

The top part

In this part you can create a new discount series for the discount and specify its general options, or select an existing series and view its options.

Element	Description
Discount code	The code of the discount for which you want to create a new series or view an existing one.
Series	The ID of the series defined for the discount. An alphanumeric string of up to 10 characters can be used. An ID will be generated by the system if auto-numbering is selected for the discount in the Discount codes (AR209000) window.
Active	A check box that indicates (if selected) that the series is active. Active series for the same discount should not have overlapping time intervals, or if they do, the series should apply to different entities.
Promotional	A check box that indicates (if selected) that the series is a promotional discount. For promotional discount series, you must specify the effective date and the expiration date ( End date ).
Description	A brief description of the series. An alphanumeric string of up to 30 characters can be used.
Discount by	The way the discount for the series is specified. The following options are available: Percent The discount is specified by a percentage. Amount The discount is specified by a fixed amount. Free item The discount is defined by a specific quantity of a certain free item added to an order. This option is used only with group-level discounts.

Prorate discount	A check box that indicates (if selected) that the discount can be prorated. With prorated discounts, the amount of the discount (or the number of free items) is calculated as if the order is split into multiple orders, so that the customer can get the largest possible discount. To determine the amount of the discount (or the number of free items) for a discountable quantity larger than one break point but less than the next break point, the system treats the discountable quantity as a combination of break point quantities, by using the largest possible break point quantities. It then calculates the discount amount (or the number of free items) according to the breakpoints used.
Effective date	The date when the series becomes effective. This field appears for the series if the Promotional check box is selected.
Expiration date	The date when the promotional discount expires. This field appears for the series if the Promotional check box is selected.
