Main Exercise
Purpose: The purpose of this lesson is to show you how the discount type is used on a customer order line
and how you can change the discount manually.
Windows:
Customer Order
- CSC Paris wants to order another street car (XX-18-300). They were not satisfied with the quality of the most recent delivery of the part, so they want a 5% compensation extra discount on this order, in addition to their general 10% discount.
- Note the value in the Discount % field. What discount is stated? Try to change the discount. Can you?
- Select the order line, right-click, and then click Order Line Discount... The
Customer Order Line Discount dialog box is displayed. Analyze the displayed data. From where is the discount type retrieved?
- Add a discount type with 5% discount, Extra Discount. Click Apply, and note the values in the Net Price/Base, Calculation Basis, Acc Discount, and Acc Discount Amount fields.
- Select the Create Partial Sum check box on the first discount line, and click Apply. Note the values in the Net Price/Base, Calculation Basis, Acc Discount, and Acc Discount Amount fields once again. Do they differ from previous calculation? If so, why?
- Close the
Customer Order Line Discount dialog box, and note the values in the Discount Amount and Discount% fields on the order line.
Note: An alternative way to enter the extra discount is to enter a percentage value in the Additional
Discount field on the customer order header. This will affect all open lines on the customer order, so only use this if you
want to add an extra discount to the entire order.
