Discount Questions and Answers

Questions & Answers

  • Q. - My customer was setup today to get a 2% discount but their statement doesn't reflect any discounts.
    • A. - All discounts are given based on the customer discount percentage at the time of invoicing. All previous orders received the original prompt pay discount 0.00% (zero). New orders receive the current percentage of 2%.
  • Q. - I give my customers a 10% discount on their purchases but this customers statement only shows a 9.57% discount.
    • Check the inventory items and one or more has been flagged as non-discountable (IU 4, discount y/n). Any item that is tagged as non-discountable will not receive a discount.
  • Q. - My customer is not receiving a discount. His customer discount code percentage is 2% but he didn't get any discount.
    • A. - after investigating we discovered that the discount percentages in (MU 1, Screen 3) had been deleted. The system does not make changes so at some point a manager either deleted or field exited the discount percentages.
  • Q. When does the discount apply?
    • A. Discount applies at time of invoicing.
  • Q. Is the discount applied during statements?
    • A. No. All discounts are applied at time of invoicing.
  • Q. My customer isn't getting a discount but I have him set to a discount level.
    • A. One or more of the following is true:
      • the customer is set to no discount (check in RU 3)
      • the discount level is 0.00 percent for that discount code (check in MU 1)
      • the discount level was changed after his last invoice. Because discounts occur at time of invoicing changes to discount codes only affect new invoices
  • Q. My customer is only getting a 1.75 discount and it should be a 2.0%
    • A. Check the discount code. If you have multiple ones your customer is set to the wrong code.
