Discount/Supplier Matrix in Use

Once you have defined a matrix entry the facility operates automatically from within the invoicer and order processing applications. The following operational differences occur:

When you enter a stock (or product) code, and the account and stock/product code or group combination matches in the matrix file, then the matrix facilities automatically apply the appropriate price/discount rates if no comment was entered.

If you have entered a comment for the discount matrix entry, then as soon as you have entered the stock code these comments appear in a window and you are asked the question:

If you select ‘cancel’ to this question, then the discount facilities are not applied. If you select ‘Accept’ then the matrix is applied.

If a quantity discount applies, then the quantity price break table is displayed at the same time as the comments.
