When you have agreed on the discount percentage that you will pay the vendor for certain items, you register the agreement for the individual items on the lines in the Purchase Line Discounts window.

To create a purchase line discount

  1. In the Search box, enter Vendors, and then choose the related link.

  2. In the Vendors window, select a relevant vendor. On the Navigate tab, in the Purchases group, choose Line Discounts. The Purchase Line Discounts window opens and the selected vendor is added automatically to the Vendor No. field.

  3. Fill in the fields on the lines with the Item No., Unit of Measure, and the agreed Line Discount %. You can also specify the Variant Code if there are several variants of the item.

  4. If you have to purchase a minimum quantity from the vendor in order to gain the agreed discount percentage, fill in the Minimum Quantity field.

  5. Enter the Starting Date and Ending Date of the price agreement.

  6. Specify the Currency Code if relevant.

Repeat these steps for every item for which you want to create a Purchase Line Discount.
