# Define supplier discount codes
## Before you start
To complete the configuration of supplier discounts, you specify discount series for each discount code in the [Supplier discounts (AP205000)](/visma-net-erp/help/supplier-ledger/supplier-ledger-windows/supplier-discounts-ap205000/) window. See: [The principles of supplier discounts](/visma-net-erp/help/supplier-ledger/supplier-discounts/maintain-supplier-discounts-overview/the-principles-of-supplier-discounts/).
This window is only available if you have selected the **Customer and supplier discounts** check box in the [Enable/disable functionalities (CS100000)](/visma-net-erp/help/common-settings/enable-or-disable-functionalites/enable-disable-functionalities-cs100000/) window. See: [Enable or disable supplier discounts](/visma-net-erp/help/common-settings/enable-or-disable-functionalites/enable-or-disable-supplier-discounts/).
1. Go to the [Supplier discount codes (AP204000)](/visma-net-erp/help/supplier-ledger/supplier-ledger-windows/supplier-discount-codes-ap204000/) window.
1. In the **Supplier** field, select the supplier you want define discount codes for.
1. On the **Discount codes** tab, click .
1. In the **Discount code** field, enter a unique code for the supplier discount.
1. In the **Description** field, enter a brief description of the supplier discount.
1. In the **Discount type** field, choose what the discount will apply to:
+ **Line**
+ **Document**
+ **Group**
1. In the **Applicable to** field, the default is that all options are check-marked, but you can remove or add an option by clicking to the left of it. The available choices are:
+ **Item**: The system applies the discount if the document includes specific items.
+ **Item price class**: The discount is applied if the document includes items from a specific item price class.
+ **Location**: The system applies the discount if the document is associated with a specific supplier location.
+ **Item and location**: The system applies the discount if the document includes specific items purchased from specific supplier location.
+ **Unconditional**: The system applies the discount to all documents unconditionally.
For a document-level discount, there is only one option:
+ **Unconditional**: The system applies the discount to all documents without any conditions.
1. Optional: If you want to exclude the supplier discount from automatic searches for the best available discount, select the **Manual** check box.
1. Optional: Select the check box **Exclude from discountable amount** if you want to exclude the line amount from the base amount for any applicable group or document discount. This option is only available for line-level discounts.
1. Optional: If you want to prevent the application of any additional discounts after the supplier discount, select the **Skip document discounts** check box. Note: This option is only available for group discounts.
1. Optional: Select the **Auto numbering** check box if you want to use automatic numbering to generate IDs for series based on this discount code. The discount code will be used as a prefix for generating series IDs by default, but you can specify a string to be used as a template for automatic numbering in the **Last number** column instead.
When series IDs are auto-numbered, the **Last number** column displays the last series ID in the series. If you enter a string before creating any series, the system uses it as a template for automatic numbering. You can have up to 10 characters, including digits at the end. The final letter separates the string into a prefix and an auto-incrementing integer. If you do not provide a value, the system uses the discount code as a prefix.
1. Click the **Calculation** tab.
1. In the **Apply line discounts to** drop-down list, choose between:
+ **Extended cost**: The system applies the discount to the line amount (to the item's extended cost).
+ **Unit cost**: The system applies the discount to the item's unit cost.
1. Click .
