Enter Discount Group

Explanation

Use this activity to create a discount group that can be connected to a sales part. You can enter several different intervals and different discount rates for one discount group. This sales part based discount is a discount based on the order value, order weight, or order volume (i.e., the actual physical cubic measurements) associated with connected sales parts. If you use negative discount percentages, you can use this functionality to create additional charges.
