Quantity Discounts

It is possible to set up a complex quantity discount system in FirstOffice. To do so, you will use two registers in the Sales Ledger: Quantity Dependent Discounts and Discount Matrices. You should define Quantity Dependent Discounts first, as they are used by the Discount Matrices.

When you enter Orders or Invoices, quantity discounts will be applied automatically as appropriate, after the Item's price has been determined by reference to any Price Lists that may apply.

In planning such a discount structure, follow these steps:

1. Enter the Items with their Base Prices, using the Item register. Assign each to an Item Group.
   

2. Define Quantity Dependent Discounts, using the register in the Sales Ledger. This is where you will define the various quantity breaks. Quantity breaks can be based on quantity, weight, volume or Order value. If you offer quantity breaks for different Items, define as many Quantity Dependent Discount records as necessary.
   

3. You can now specify the discount levels, using the Discount Matrix register in the Sales Ledger. Each set of discount levels (a 'Discount Matrix') will use the quantity breaks defined in step 2. A single set of discount levels can apply to all Items, or to specified Item Groups.
   

4. You can now assign a Discount Matrix to each Customer. When you enter Orders or Invoices for each Customer, the specified discount structure will be used automatically.
