If parts are associated with a menu, a Parts tab is displayed on the Service Menu Pricing Negotiation form. This tab displays a breakdown of the parts required to employ the selected menu and gives an indication of parts stock levels. From here, you can apply the same (global) discount to parts or a line-by-line discount.
When you select a menu in POS, the system looks at the Sales Ledger account first to see if any discounts exist on the record (unless the negotiation flag Ignore SL parts discounts is set, in which case the system ignores the Sales Ledger account). If there is a parts discount in the Discount code 1 field (Parts POS) or Discount code 2 field (Service POS) on the Other details tab of the SL record, the system uses these as the default.
The amount of discount that you can apply to parts in POS is determined by the Discount limits set on the Discounting tab of the parameters against Parts. For example, you can override the default parts discount rate on the Sales Ledger account if the maximum discounts entered in the parameters are higher for your priority. However, if the discounts entered in the Sales Ledger account are higher, the system uses these instead.
The system allows you to apply the same (global) discount to all parts. When you apply a discount to parts, the system automatically removes any discount or fixed price applied to the menu.
Note: You only have the option to apply a discount to parts if the discount limits are set up for your user priority on the Discounting tab of the parameters.
