Discount Scheme
 |  |
Definition
The Discount Scheme window allows the user to create a logical method of updating and creating price lists.
Tab A price list scheme calculates new price lists versions of price list making operations. These operations are established in the price list line tab, on the list of prices for a determined price list. This way, having to update each one of the prices of the catalog manually is avoided.
Process Information
- A clear example can be the rise of prices at the beginning of year, where many products increase in value (for example a supermarket that it wants to increase the IPC to its products). Instead of going one by one, a scheme with a line is created that increases the price by a desired percentage.
- In a discount scheme, the different sequential lines are executed. This allows users to, for example, raise a percentage all products of a list in forward edge of price updating. They can also subtlely raise the price of products of a certain product category.
- In the Price List scheme, different lines are executed sequentially. This allows the user to raise a percentage all products of a list in the first price line. They can then return and add more value to products of a determined product category.
- If the percentage introduced is positive the price goes up and when if it is negative the price goes down.
- References allow to choose business partners, product categories, products, etc. to which the discount line are applied.
Price List

Definition
Prices List is a catalog of product prices. The user can define different prices lists for the same products for given partners. From each price list, different updates can be made. It is also possible to make price lists schemes to calculate price lists in a simpler way.
Tabs
- Price List: The user can create different price lists. Each price list has to be defined as purchase or sales price list. Depending on this, it will be accesible on purchase or sales selectors.
