Discount %

Discount % are applied directly to the sales line price when specific conditions are met. These conditions may include:

• Quantity
• Base Quantity
• Gross Weight
• Net Weight
• Number of Parcels

With the Advanced Price Management module you can then create multi-level discount as explained here.

Discount Fees

A discount fee is a fixed amount deducted per unit of a defined base (e.g., net weight, gross weight, quantity).

In the fresh produce market and similar industries, it’s common to negotiate deals using discount fees rather than percentage-based discounts. This method allows for more precise control over pricing, especially when working with variable-weight items.

Grouped Line Discount

The Grouped Line Discount provides a flexible mechanism to apply an additional discount percentage to a sales order when specific criteria are met. This discount is calculated based on aggregated values across the order or selected lines. The criteria can include:

• Total Amount
• Quantity or Quantity (Base)
• Weight (Net or Gross)
• Shipping Units or Shipping Container Units (available if the Packaging app is installed)

Free Item

This feature supports “Buy X, Get Y Free” campaigns.

When conditions are met, the system automatically adds a second sales line with the free item and its corresponding quantity.

• The original item remains unchanged.
• The free item is added as a separate line.
• Pricing logic ensures the free item is charged as defined.

Substitution

Substitution allows you to replace a standard item with a promotional or alternative item, while maintaining the original pricing conditions.

🔹 Example: During a seasonal campaign, a 500ml conditioner is replaced with a 750ml promotional version at the same price.

Key Benefits:

• No need for customers to know the promotional item code.
• The system automatically replaces the item on the sales line.
• Pricing is calculated based on the original item.

⚠️ Unlike discounts or free items, substitution modifies the item number on the sales line.
