Hi all!

How would i enter special offers in Sales Order in Navision 4?

The scenario:

A special offer is available for item A. If cutomer buys 10 he gets additional 2 of the same item for free.

How would i invoice the customer without adding the cost of the 2 "free" items in the total invoice amount?

Can I use negative item charge for this? If so, what is the effect in value entry?

Please post your suggestions.

    in sales order, create two different lines of same item. one is selling 10 of the item, the other one is selling 2 of item.. dont fill in "unit price" field of second line.. in this way, you can report how many special offer you served...

    i dont understand what you mean with this:
    without adding the cost of the 2 "free" items in the total invoice amount?
    the cost of two free item sold must be taken into consideration for accounting..their cost must be reflected to COGS account in whatever way and price of selling is.[/quote]

    Your easiest best would be to just modify the invoice form to hide the "free" lines when it's printed.

    If i was a customer I wouldn't mind the second line showing I actually got 2 for free. Some companies put 100% in the discount field instead of zero price.

    Unless they give 2 away to the customer as "kickback" :whistle:

    Hello mightykid

    What you are asking is called "Schemes", I think. We have several kind of such offerings in our company.
    Eg:
    Buy 10 of Item A, Get 1 A free
    Buy 5 of Item and 3 of Item B, Get 1 of Item C
    etc, etc

    I think, Our implementers have done a customisation for us. If you are a end-user, talk to your partners.

    What I wanted to say is, it is possible to have Navision give automatically according to the discount schemes you define.

    All the best :)
