Code to use.
7. Discount Table
The price code indicates which price from the stock card should be used
for the transaction, e.g. R = Retail.
8. Discount Table
The Discount Table also shows if the part is to be Marked up (M) or
Discounted (D) and the percentage to be applied. This then places the
relevant information into Point of Sale.
The above set of interactions allows the Autoline system to put a discount structure in place for all your
customers, parts, etc. This will be applied automatically when the customer account and the part are
selected; while taking into consideration the sourcing method of the part, the relevant costs to be
considered and the point of sale (parts or through the workshop).
