Supplier conditions can be defined for each supplier. These may include discounts, but also conditions such as the order value required for a carriage-paid (franco) order.
A supplier may require a minimum carriage-paid value, meaning that if the order value is below a certain amount, the transport costs are charged to the receiver, and if it is above the carriage-paid value, the transport costs are covered by the sender.

Discount calculation method: calculate discounts separately / add discount percentages and calculate total discount
When discounts are applied separately, the “execution order” determines in which sequence they are applied.
In the example, the 5% order discount is applied first, and the 1% performance discount is applied to the result afterwards.
With the setting “add discount percentages and calculate total discount”, the percentages are added together and applied in one step.
In this example, the discounts would be added (6%) and then applied.
Source of cash discount:
EDI message: The discounts are taken from the EDI message.
Supplier condition: The discounts are taken from the supplier conditions defined in RetailVista.
Cash discount calculation: in the case of a cash discount, apply it to the total excluding VAT or the total including VAT.
The values defined for a supplier are copied by default to a purchase order and consequently to a goods receipt.
These values may be overridden incidentally, or a specific value may be entered for an individual purchase order.
If a value should always apply, it can be defined directly at the supplier level.
If it concerns a discount for a specific purchase order, the value can be entered on the purchase order itself.
