SAP Business One

Discounts and Volume Prices

Discounts

Item prices are usually defined in various price lists. The price list that is relevant for determining the prices for a particular business partner is specified in the master data record of that business partner.

On top of this it is also possible to define discounts for certain items and customers. To do this in SAP Business One click: Inventory > Price Lists > Special Prices > Special Prices for Business Partners. Find the required business partner and item and enter the discount percentage for an item.

If you double-click the row number of a certain item the Period Discounts window will open. Here you can enter the discount percentage for an item that will be valid for a certain period.

Volume prices

Volume pricing is a pricing strategy that allows discounts for bulk purchases. Typically, the greater the number of products purchased the greater discount.

Volume prices are triggered in the shopping basket based on the business logic coming from SAP Business One and are shown on the product details page. This way a customer can see the pricing offers directly on the product details page, before ordering the product.

In SAP Business One use the quantity-based Special Prices for Business Partners to set up pricing rules that will be shown in the Volume Discounts table on the product details page in the web store.

To set up Volume prices in SAP Business One click: Inventory > Price Lists > Special Prices > Special Prices for Business Partners. Find the required business partner and item. Double-click the row number of the required item in the Special Prices for Business Partners window and then double-click the row number in the Period Discounts window.

In the Special Prices - Volume Discounts window you can define quantity-based special prices.

The table below provides description of the fields in the Special Prices - Volume Discounts window.

Field	Description
UoM Code	Select the unit of measure code for which volume discount will be valid and shown in the View volume discounts table on the product details page in the web store.
UoM Name	Select the unit of measure name for which volume discount will be valid and shown in the View volume discounts table on the product details page in the web store.
Quantity	Enter the minimum quantity of items that a customer should purchase in order to gain the agreed discount.
Discount	Enter the discount.

You can set different special prices per each unit of measure of an item.

To show volume prices in the Sana Commerce webstore, the Volume prices option should be enabled in Sana Admin: Setup > Products > Price.

If volume discounts are set for an item in SAP Business One and the Volume prices option is enabled in Sana Admin, then in the webstore on the product details page a customer will see a link View volume discounts under the product price. Clicking on this link opens the table with volume discounts coming from SAP Business One. The volume discounts are presented per each unit of measure and can be set up per single product.

The View volume discounts table on the product details page presents the following information:

• The minimum quantity of items that the customer should purchase in order to gain the agreed discount.
• Unit of measure (UOM) the customer can order in.
• The calculated price based on the discount from the Special Prices - Volume Discounts table.
• The discount % from the Special Prices - Volume Discounts table.
