Order discounts
Orders sent to Business Network Portal, can contain live item level discounts and header level discounts. When discounts are applied, it will decrease the order total price on the order response.
The discounts can be added to the order items already by the customer, which then supplier can confirm. In addition, supplier can add own item discount or total order level (header) discount. All of the confirmed discount information from the order can be converted to the invoice data, if PO flip functionality is used.
Business Network Portal has 3 discounts options for sales invoices and they are applied in following order:
Order line discount % added by the customer on purchase orders.
Supplier order line discount % added by the supplier on sales order.
Supplier order total discount % added by the supplier on sales order.
Discount percentage is always applied to total amount and using the above mentioned priority order.
Example formula of applying discounts:
((price x quantity) - order line discount %) - supplier order line discount) = line net total
line net total x order total discount % = order net total
