Quantity Discounts - Quantity Dependent Discounts
If you need to set up a system of quantity discounts, you will use two registers in the Pricing module:
- The Quantity Dependent Discount register will contain the quantity breaks, which can be based on quantity, weight, volume or value. Each record in this register will contain a set of quantity breaks that can be used by any number of Discount Matrices, allowing you to define different discount structures based on the same quantity breaks.
- The Discount Matrix register will contain the discount percentages.
This page describes the Quantity Dependent Discount register. Please refer
here for details about Discount Matrices.
To define a new set of quantity breaks, first ensure you are in the Pricing module using the [Switch Module] button in the Navigation Centre. Then, if you are using Windows or Mac OS X, click the [Registers] button in the Navigation Centre and then double-click 'Quantity Dependent Discounts' in the resulting list. If you are using iOS or Android, tap the [Registers] button in the Navigation Centre and then tap 'Quantity Dependent Discounts' in the 'Registers' list.
When the 'Quantity Dependent Discounts: Browse' window appears, select 'New' from the Create menu (Windows/Mac OS X) or the + menu (iOS/Android) to create a new record. When the record is complete, click the [Save] button (Windows/Mac OS X) or tap √ (iOS/Android). You can then close it using the close box (Windows/Mac OS X) or by tapping < (iOS/Android). Then, close the browse window using the close box or < again.

- Description

This Description will be shown in the 'Paste Special' list that you will use when choosing a Quantity Dependent Discount record in a Discount Matrix, so it should be descriptive enough to make choosing the correct record easy for all users.
