Rental/Sales Discounts


Counter Menu -> Contract / Counter Worksheet -> Additional window -> Rental/Sales Discounts window -> Rental/Sales Discounts

The rental and sale discount percents to be given on the document, default from the values defined in theCustomer Information and/or Customer Site Information.
The site discount can either replace the customer's discount or be added-to the customer's discount according to the company setting in the Company Billing Parameters.
If there is a valid Loyalty Plan assigned to the customer, the rental discount from that Loyalty Plan over-rides any Customer/Site Rental discount, but does not impact the Sales discount percent.

The Apply Discounts To Search Results flag in the Company Inventory Parameters controls whether the rental and sales discounts defined on the document header are reflected in the inventory list results from the Inventory Search.

Note: Contract Customer discounts for a Customer Site can be set by Product Class, in Contract Customer Discount.
These job site discounts take precedent over other product and customer discounts on the contract.

These defaults can be overridden for this specific document as required.
