The discount tables are used to determine buying- and selling discounts for each of your product ranges. Each table is numbered and relates directly to the table number entered in your discount map. Standard functionality exists that allows you to create and maintain records.
Note: You may have a maximum of 207 discount tables for each discount group (23 customer discount categories extended by 9 source codes), and each table contains the discount codes (maximum 340) as entered in your discount map.
To access a discount table:
From the Autoline Master Menu, select the Point of sale option and Company you require.
The POINT OF SALE main menu is displayed.
Select Miscellaneous options.
The SO MISCELLANEOUS OPTIONS menu is displayed.
Select the Discount tables option.
The Discount Tables form is displayed.
The Discount Tables form is displayed when you select the Discount tables option from the SO MISCELLANEOUS OPTIONS menu. From this form, you can create, and maintain, discount tables.
Warning: If the message Co 00 file, written in red, is displayed on the form you are about to edit, you are strongly advised to seek expert advice before amending this file. Amending a Co 00 file (global file), may have an undesirable impact on other companies using the same environment.
Discount group: Enter the discount group (from p.g. file) in the range A-W. Or use the drop-down 
menu facility to select a current valid group.
Table number: The table number that relates directly to the table number entered in your discount map, or use the drop-down menu facility to select a current valid table number.
Description: The name of the table that identifies the purpose for which the table is used
Message: Any messages regarding the records
TABLE:
Number: The sequential number in the list that the table occupies in the display
Code: The discount codes entered in the discount map
Price code to use: Price codes are set up in the SO system parameters. The price code denotes which price on the stock record is to be used when selling this part (in most cases R for Retail). The prices to use on the stock record are also identified in the SO system parameters, in the field Price numbers to use.
The price codes are set up by Autoline personnel when installing your system, and are prompted at the foot of the form. These are normally as follows:
R: Retail - Price (1) on the stock record
W: Wholesale Dealer Net - Price (2) on the stock record
T: Trade - Price (3) on the stock record
A: Average price on the stock record
L: Latest price on the stock record
S: Standard price on the stock record
Discount or markup: This field determines the method by which the percentage field will be applied. Prices are either marked up, or discounted. Enter one of the following by selecting the drop-down
M: Mark up. If the letter M is used, the system marks up the price specified by the percentage entered. This is most commonly used when selling parts with a discount code that denotes net pricing from your supplier.
D: Discount. Normally, the letter D to discount is used, followed by the percentage of discount applicable.
Note: The ability to enter Markup in this column is restricted to Parts Discount Tables - that is, any table where the Discount group code is NOT a lower case letter.
If the table number you create is for purchasing, the same rules apply. However, some suppliers do not offer a discount from the retail price but alternatively supply goods at a fixed cost. If this is the case, you would enter a price code of S for Standard cost, D for Discount, and a percentage of zero.
Percentage: This is the percentage that will be applied as either a discount or mark-up, depending on how the previous field has been set.
