How Volume Discounts Work

Volume discounts are always percentage discount that is applied to the current prices.

The volume discount screen does not set pricing, it sets discount percentages.

There is the option to enter a $ amount to calculate the discount percentage – this is done by comparing the $ amount you enter to price level 1 and calculating the discount percentage. This is only done at the time that you initially enter the dollar amount.

I am not using the word price for the $ amounts entered under the Disc $ columns because they can only be assumed to be a price at the time that that the screen was loaded and then only for price level 1.

They are an entry tool for setting your discount percentages, not an actual discount price.
