Prorating a Total Discount Amount Across All Items on a PO

Use the following procedure to implement discounts in the Purchasing and Receiving grid. For example, you may have special promotional pricing that you want to apply to the entire PO, but you don't want to have to do this line by line.

  1. Verify that option 105 "Use Landed Cost in Receiving?" is set to either Y or Z in Options Configuration.

  2. In the Purchasing and Receiving window, if you are adding a new PO, fill in the PO Header screen as you normally would. If you are changing an existing PO, display the PO on the Header screen.

  3. In the Other Charges field, enter the total discount amount as a negative number. For example, if the total discount amount is 500.00, enter -500.00 in the Other Charges field.

  4. If you are adding a new PO, click Add PO. If you are changing an existing PO, click Change.

When you finalize the PO, the discount amount you entered in the Other Charges field will be distributed across all items on the PO.
