RE: Order total discounts

[Albert Lopez <alblopezc@xxxxxxxx>]

Angela,
You do not mention what version of BPCS are you on, but from v6  you have
several ways to manage your problem:
- using special prices, not method T (order) that you mention, but using '2'
(Customer), or '4' whether the discount is appliable only for some items for
the customer. Answering your first question, there is no way to remove the
discount for an order.
- If none of the different Price Methods works to your scenario, you must
use Financial discounts, eg., associated to your customer term. Set up a
customer term with a discount percentage ( and also specify whether is to be
calculated after or before taxes, etc) and you can associate this term to
your customer, or even change it in billing time, revising the header of the
infoice on BIL501D1, if this only apply to any of  the invoices of your
customer. If you use the customer terms discount, do not forget to set on
the flag 'Take discount for customer invoice' on Company Master, second
screen, to apply the discount on the invoice. If this flat is set to 0, the
discount is to be applied on payment time, depending if the customer pay
before or after the due date.
Hope this helps.

How do you remove order total discounts from an order to do maintenance
on the order?

OR

Does anyone know how to do an invoice total discount.   We would like to
give our customer a 1% discount off of their total invoice.   We are
currently trying to use the order discount with some mods.   We may
combine several different order lines onto an invoice so we really need
to calculate the discount at invoice time.

Any ideas?

Thanks!!!
