How do I Give Discount in Point Of Sale?
Summary
This article explains how to give discount in the "Point of Sale".
More Information
Go to " Stock Control Point of Sale".
- Enter the 'Account Code' to whom you will be selling items and ultimately giving the discount in the "Customer :" field.
There are two ways of giving a discount: the first is on all items on the invoice using a blanket discount; the second is to give individual amounts of discount off the items on the invoice.
Blanket Discount
This is the easier and quicker of the two methods, but it discounts everything by the same percentage. Underneath the 'Account Code' for the customer there is a "Discount:" Field. Enter the amount you want to discount the whole invoice by a 'Percentage'. The discount will be taken off after the 'Nett' total of the invoice, and the V.A.T. will be calculated on this reduced value.
Line Discount
This method takes slightly longer, but allows you either to apply different amounts of discount per item or to choose not to discount certain items.
- To apply a discount to a particular stock item once it has been added, you will need either to "Double Click" the item to which you want to add a discount or to select the item and press <F5> or click the [Edit] button.
- At "Discount:", enter the discount 'Percentage'.
- Press <Esc> or click the [Close] button to save the discount against the stock item and return to the previous screen.
The discount will be applied to each line.
Once you have applied the discount by either of the methods, raise the invoice as you would do normally, and the discounts will be applied.
