Free Items
Many companies provide different offers and discounts to their customers especially during holiday sales. For example, when a customer purchases a certain quantity of an item and receives an extra one free of charge.
Using discount groups in SAP Business One, you can set up discounts for items and business partners and offer different products to your customers at the most favorable prices. You can also set up free items, for example if customers purchase 4 items, they get 1 item free of charge.
Set Up Free Items
To create discount groups, in SAP Business One click: Inventory > Price Lists > Discount Groups.
You can set up free items for all business partners, for a customer group, for a specific business partner, for an item group and for a specific item.
For more information, see Discount Groups.
There are three fields that you can use to set up free items based on the quantity purchased - Paid Qty, Free Qty and Max. Free Qty.
By default, these fields are hidden. Therefore, if these fields are not shown in the Discount Groups window in your SAP Business One client, open Form Settings and make them visible.
The table below provides description of the quantity fields that can be used to set up free items:
|

|
Free Qty |

Max. Free Qty |

|

Pay for 3 and get 1 free. A customer must add 4 items to the shopping cart to get 1 out of 4 free of charge. |
When a customer purchases a certain quantity of an item, the discount percentage will be calculated and shown in the shopping cart.
