Greetings Bpcs Users,

Have any of you had success using the off invoice at line level promotion
discount functionality within BPCS? Our company is using V6.0.04 Mixed mode.
I set up a promotion using a bracket group code for the items that we wish
to offer at a 5% discount and I am able to select the special pricing within
order entry after placing the region code on the customer pricing screen.
The order acknowledgement prints a line level promotion note and it
calculates and prints the discount but does not subtract it from the selling
price, extended price or the order total.

I figured that the order needed to be invoiced for the discount to apply,
however invoicing did not produce a discount either.

Since a good part of our business comes from credit card orders, it makes it
very inconvenient to calculate the correct amount to charge the credit card
when the discount is not showing up on the acknowledge, pick ticket, packing
slip or invoice. Also, it is our policy to charge the credit card before we
pick confirm which insures that the available credit is sufficient to cover
the amount of the goods.

Here is a screen print of our setup in the promotion master:
