Bottom line discounts are a way to award a discount to your customer based on the total amount of sales dollars on a sales order. You can create one or more brackets, each with its own discount percentage. A sales order can have a bottom line discount assigned to it in one of three ways: it may be added by default when the user chooses an order source, it may be added by default do to customer override of the order source, it may be manually set by the user.

When a sales order has a bottom line discount assigned, the discount will be calculated any time sales order totals are calculated. To calculate the discount, the system first calculates the line subtotal then finds the highest bracket that has an amount less than or equal to the subtotal. That bracket's discount rate is then applied to subtotal and subtracted from the overall sales total.

Examples

Assume the following brackets:

• If a sales order has a subtotal of $75, no discount will be awarded.
• If a sales order has a subtotal of $642.86, a discount of $45 will be subtracted from the overall total.
  • If there are no other charges or discounts on the sales order, the total will be $597.86.
  • If the sales order had freight charges of $25 and taxes of $47, the order total will be $669.86.
