Customer Discount Structures

premnav

Dear Colleagues,

One of my customers needs to implement a Discount Structure in Navision. According to their requirement, they need to give 1 unit free when customer buys 10 or more. When customer buys 20 units then 2 units need to be given as free. In this way they need to issue I unit free for each 10 units that customer buys. Can this structure be automated in Navision without doing any customization?

Your valuable thoughts in this regard would be highly appreciated.

Thank you in advance

The only way that is standard that "might work" would be using the "Item Sales Qty. Disc."

Code-Min Quantity-Discount%
get1      10           10
get1      20           20
get1      30           30
etc.etc.

If you're looking for more - it will be a custom job.
Personally I would go in the direction of if you enter :
Qty 10 then another line is added for the same item# for a qty of 1 @ 100% discount
Qty 20 then another line is added for the same item# for a qty of 2 @ 100% discount
etc.

I agree you probably need to customize it. The problem with the discount % for this type of promotion:
Discount % would be different for EVERY quantity.
IE Buy 10 get one free: 9.1% discount (1 divided by 11)
Buy 11 get one free: 8.3% discount (1 divided by 12)
etc...

However it is possible to manually add the discounted lines in like what Savatage said, no customization needed.

Hi
To solve this problem you can tick on sale line field "Free supply" then On a order this item value not be added and you give your customer to discount in item form.Just try it.

What field# is "Free Supply"?

Even so how does that solve the problem of automating the process?

It's just as easy to enter the item twice..
first time with Qty 10
Second time (f8) with qty 1 with 100% line discount.

first time with Qty 20
Second time (f8) with qty 2 with 100% line discount.

etc.

Agree with Savatage or beasties boys remix anyway.

Depending upon how complex your structure is. We have implemented quite a few sites like this with further combinations of buy x get Y etc.

It is much easier to have the gifted items as a second line as quite often you might want to get rid of the older stock first instead of having news stock consumed. This allows for sales people to pick the stock from a slected location or bin etc. This is espically helpful if you have mobile sales people entering orders from remote locations.

Assuming free supply is an indian field ?
