Definition
Manual Discounting Options refers to the methods used to adjust the price of a rental or sales transaction through direct user intervention.
Key Details
Manual Discounting Options provide the flexibility to offer price reductions on a per-item basis, allowing for specific customer negotiations, volume adjustments, or promotional pricing.
- System Category: This feature is managed within the Rental Order Line Item section.
- Available Formats
- Discount %: Applies a percentage-based reduction to the item’s total price.
- Discount Amount: Deducts a fixed, specific monetary value from the total price.
- Interface Logic: Choosing a specific discounting option automatically triggers the visibility of the corresponding input field for the user.
Use Case Example
In practice
Consider a customer renting equipment with a base value of $1,000$. The system allows for two primary ways to reach a discounted price:
- Discount %: By applying a 10$ discount, the customer’s payment is reduced to $900$.
- Discount Amount: By applying a flat 100$ discount, the final price is also reduced to $900$.
Once applied, the system calculates the Extended Amount by adding the “Amount after Discount” to the applicable tax amount.
