Purchase Orders > Discounting a Purchase Order

To discount a purchase order:

1.Choose Purchase Orders|Discount PO from the Inventory menu item.

2.Select a Discount Type: Discount Each PO Line item by a fixed PERCENT or Discount PO Total by a fixed AMOUNT

3.Select a PO Number from the list of available Purchase Orders.

4.Type in a Discount percentage or Discount Amount based on the Discount Type selected.

5.Press the Ok button.

All item costs on the selected purchase order will then be discounted by a percentage amount or the total order will be discounted by the dollar amount specified. Discounts can be positive (pre-season, volume discounts, etc.) or negative (adding costs to the PO to account for taxes or shipping) and can be decimal values.

The percentage discount for purchase order items will be displayed in the Discount column on the Items tab of the Edit Purchase Order screen. This column will only display a discount percentage when discounts have been extended though the Discount PO function. After using this function costs may be changed manually to change the discount percentage. This can be done on the purchase order or when receiving the items on the Receive Purchase Order screen. Discounts are cumulative when using the Discount PO function. To reset the discount you should discount the purchase order by 0 percent.
