Quantity Discounts - Quantity Dependent Discounts
This register in the Pricing module is used to define the quantity breaks which will be used by the
Discount Matrix register. You can establish as many sets of quantity breaks as necessary. They can be based on sales quantity, sales value, weight or volume. Each set of quantity breaks can be used by any number of Discount Matrices, allowing you to define different discount structures based on the same quantity breaks.
