You use this program to create and maintain purchase order discount codes which can be used when creating purchase order requisitions (Requisition Maintenance).
These discount codes can be allocated to suppliers (Supplier Maintenance) as Line discount codes and/or Invoice discount codes. The discounts allocated against a supplier are then automatically calculated and applied to Purchase orders (Purchase Order Header) according to the percentages held against these discount codes.

| Delete | Select this to delete the currently displayed discount code. | ||||

| Discount code | This indicates the code allocated to the discount code you are adding or maintaining. | ||||
| Description | This is used to describe the discount code in the previous field. | ||||
| First discount percentage |
Enter the first discount percentage to apply for this discount code. You can enter up to three linked discounts to apply when the discount code is used. The discount percentages you define are chained. For example if you enter 5, 2 and 1 in the First, Second and Thirddiscount percentage fields respectively, then the discount amount is calculated as the original amount less 5%, less 2%, less 1%. For example, if the total amount for a requisition or purchase order line is 1000, then the line discount is calculated as 1000 less 5% = 950, less 2% = 931, less 1% = 921.69. So the net amount for the line will be 921.69.
