Update Vendor Discounts

Form ID: (AP502500)

This form is available only if the Vendor Discounts feature is enabled on the Enable/Disable Features (CS100000) form.

You use this form to make pending sequences for vendor discounts effective. You can create pending sequences for vendor discounts on the Vendor Discounts (AP205000) form. Pending sequences will appear in the list only if they are marked as active and their start date is sooner than the current business date.

While updating vendor discounts, the system performs the following steps for each selected sequence:

Removes from the database the last sequence (the one used before the currently effective sequence), if any
Marks the currently effective sequence, if any, as the last one
Marks the pending sequence as the currently effective one

Note:

For each discount, if effective sequences are defined for the same time interval, they should not have intersecting lists of items or locations.

Form Toolbar

The form toolbar includes standard and form-specific buttons and commands. For the list of standard buttons, see Form Toolbar and More Menu. The form-specific commands are listed in the following table.

Selection Area

In the Selection area, you can select the vendor and the latest start date for pending discount sequences to be made effective.


Element	Description
Vendor	The vendor for which you want to define sequences. The list of vendors available for selection may be limited based on the role or roles assigned to the user account to which you are signed in if the Customer and Vendor Visibility Restriction feature is enabled on the Enable/Disable Features (CS100000) form. In this case, the Restrict Visibility To box appears on the Financial tab of the Vendors (AP303000) form. With the feature enabled, a vendor is available for selection if one of the following is true: The Restrict Visibility To box is empty for the vendor—that is, the vendor’s visibility is not restricted. A branch, company, or a company group is specified in the Restrict Visibility To box for the vendor, and your user account has the role specified in the Access Role box of the Configuration Settings section of one of the following: the Branch Details tab of the Branches (CS102000) form for the selected branch, or the Company Details tab of the Companies (CS101500) form for the selected company or a company within the company group.
