The most common practice when wanting to include a discount on an order (and subsequently have that discount populate on an order PDF) is to add a line to the order with a non-inventory discount part number. The following will walk you through how to accomplish this task in Cetec ERP. NOTE: Always be sure to ship a negative line item with another larger line item so the order resale isnt negative.
- The first step is to create a non-inventory part named something like ZZZDiscount. Navigate to Parts Lists Parts List
- As an example, type in ZZZ as the PRC.
- Add “DISCOUNT” as the part number and click Create.
- Be sure to mark the prcpart as “Non-Inventory” on the part “Edit” screen.
- Open the order you want to discount and click edit.
- Click Add Line.
- Change the Transcode to Charge and update the Qty to 1.
- Select your non-inventory part, and add your desired discount as a negative value in the resale field. In our example, well issue a $200 discount.
- Click Submit.
- Preview the order PDF to confirm the discount line appears correctly. Click PDF on the left hand navigation.
- Youll see the $-200 discount applied to our order.
