Discounting the Estimated Price

This optional feature is controlled by your Acquisition Option Discount Eprice: rate determined by vendor/fund.

You can discount the estimated price of an order either by fund or by vendor. To discount an order:

  1. Edit the vendor or fund record (depending on whether your library discounts by vendor or by fund) to include a value in the DISCOUNT % field.
  2. Create an order record. When you enter the EPRICE field, the system shows you a dialog with the new discounted estimated price, which is based on the percentage from the DISCOUNT % field in the associated fund or vendor record. For an existing order record, verify the amount of the estimated price if you have changed the vendor associated with this order record and consequently affected the percentage of discount offered by this vendor.
Discounting by Vendor and Material Type

If you want to apply a discount by both vendor and material type, use the Value Added feature.
