Quantity Discounts
WATCH THE VIDEO
A quantity discount is a discount that is given to customers when they purchase a particular quantity of a product. For example, you can create a 20 percent discount for the purchase of two T-shirts of a particular brand.
Starting from Sana Commerce Cloud 10.0.24 in Microsoft Dynamics AX, besides standard trade agreements, you can also use quantity discounts from Microsoft Dynamics AX Retail to set up volume prices.
We recommend to select one of the features, either trade agreements or quantity discounts, and use it for volume prices. If you use only one feature, it will be easier to keep track of all volume prices you set up and you can avoid incorrect calculation of prices.
Prices and discounts from Microsoft Dynamics AX Retail have higher priority, that is why if it is enabled, then quantity discounts will be used for volume prices.
If a discount is valid for a product, a discount name will be shown in the webshop on the product details page. The discount offer description is shown on the product details page using the Discount offer text content element.
Create a Quantity Discount
Step 1: In Microsoft Dynamics AX click: Retail > Common > Pricing and discounts > Quantity discounts.
Step 2: Create a new quantity discount.
Step 3: Enter a Discount ID and a Name. If number sequences are set up, Microsoft Dynamics AX automatically generates the ID numbers.
Step 4: On the General FastTab, in the Status field, you can enable or disable the discount.
A discount can be edited only if it is disabled.
Step 5: Click Price groups and select one or more price groups that the discount applies to.
Step 6: On the Price/discount FastTab, in the Discount type field, select either Discount % to calculate the discount prices as percentage discount or select Unit price to enter specific prices for quantities of the product.
Step 7: On the Validation period FastTab, you can define the period during which a discount is valid.
Step 8: On the Lines FastTab, click Add to add a single product to the discount or click Add products to add multiple products. If a product has variants, you can also click Add all variants to automatically add all product variants that are available for the selected product as separate lines.
Step 9: Click Configuration at the top and in the Minimum quantity field enter the minimum quantity that the customer must buy to qualify for the discount. In the Unit price or Disc. % field, depending on the discount type selected on the Price/discount FastTab, enter the amount or percentage of the discount.
This way you can either define a new unit price or a percentage discount when a certain number of a product has been sold and set a further discount with an increasing number of products.
Different discounts and price adjustments can be valid for a single product. In this case, all possible discount offers will be shown on the product details page. If more than one discount applies to a product, a customer may receive either one discount or a combined discount. A Discount concurrency mode can be set on the General FastTab. It allows to specify how the discount is combined with other discounts that apply to the same product. Only the discount or combination of discounts that meet the conditions will be applied to the sales order.
