Automatic Group Vendor Discounts

Any discount in MYOB Advanced is defined by a combination of settings specified for a discount code and discount sequence. The discount code determines the level at which the discount is applied, whether it is applied automatically by the system or manually by the user, as well as entity types or types for which the discounts will be effective for. The discount sequence specifies further settings, such as specific entities to which the discount applies (the types of these entities are determined by the discount code), the method of discount calculation (whether it is specified as a percentage or as an amount), whether the discount is tiered and if so, what the tiers are based on, etc.

The discounts described in this section are applied automatically at the level of a document line or a group of lines. The discounts of this type can be configured to be applicable to various entities, defined as a percentage of the line amount, as a lump sum or as a free item; they can be applicable to specific amounts or quantities of an item or items in multiple lines, etc. Only some of the possible configurations are covered in this section. For information on settings that can be defined for a discount code, see Customer Discounts: Discount Codes. For the settings specified at a discount sequence level, see Customer Discounts: Discount Sequences.
