The following discounts can be recorded:

• Supplier Standard discount (the item discounts automatically default to this value on creation of new supply record. Can be overridden)

• Item discount from a specific supplier (this overrides the standard supplier discount for a specific item from a specific supplier)

• Discount applying at delivery time (recorded at delivery time if different to default already applied)

Discounts are applied at various times as these can change from supplier to supplier, from item to item from the same supplier and even from one delivery to the next of the same item from the same supplier.

Bookmine enables you to handle all these situations in a logical fashion.

Each supplier has a default discount that is presumed to apply to all items supplied by them. This can be overridden for any item supplied by any supplier by specifying a different value when you add a new item to the list of those supplied by them. This can be carried out when adding an item to a Purchase Order that is not already supplied by the supplier or can be modified at any time by invoking the Item Details command associated with the item in the details section on the Purchase Order Details form. This can also be carried out from the Contacts form by displaying the list of items supplied by the current contact.

The discount may change when the items are delivered to you and this can be recorded at delivery time for each delivery of each item for a given Purchase Order.
