Title: Discounts by dollar amount
Post by: rjsmeyer on March 01, 2016, 10:23:32 AM
I thought I'd seen this in here somewhere, but I can't find it now.

In v14, one of the features is listed as discounting by dollar amount as well as %.  There must be a specific discount button for this - which one is it?

thanks.

In the product edit where you enter the product details, click on the Discount button.  At the top you have the options of by Percentage or Amount.

Hi Ronald,

I have v14.208.

When I have a product open in the Sales window, when I go into Edit, I get "Qty", "Discount %", and "Price" along the top of the Edit window.  If I click on the box next to "Discount %", a window titled "Enter Discount %" opens, with no apparent option for "dollar amount".  If I click on something like "3.00", which looks like it could be a dollar amount, it registers instead as a percentage (i.e,. 3%). 

I must be missing something.  What is it?

Not is the sales.  In the product edit window inside the Product Control.

Okay.  I have used that for other things.  I was hoping for something where I could lop something like $10 off the sale price for something.

You can create a product for discounting a fixed amount or have the product ask how much to discount.  Create a product and change Sell to Coupon.  Use the Price Prompt in your case to get the amount of the discount.  The product can be used as a Favorite button or added to the Favorites menu.

Sounds like a good idea - I'll have to give it a try!  Thanks!
