Applying Markups and Discounts

Markups and discounts can be applied to individual line items for both recurring and non-recurring charges.

The final charge is calculated as follows:

Customer Charge = Book Charge + Markup - Discount

The following rules apply to markups and discounts:

  • Markups and discounts can be entered as dollar (or currency) amounts or %
  • Negative values are not allowed
  • Markups can have any value while discounts may not exceed 100% or Book Charge + Markup (i.e., one can only discount a charge down to zero but not below)

Updating a single line item

To apply a markup or discount on a single line item:

  1. Open quote details
  2. Edit quote line item
  3. Update markup or discount as a dollar (or currency) amount or percentage — if the dollar amount is changed, the % is recalculated and vice versa
  4. Profit & margin calculations are updated real-time with every change
  5. Use Reset Markup/Discounts action to zero both markup and discount values

Updating multiple line items

  1. Open quote details
  2. Click Edit Markups/Discounts button
  3. A dialog box is shown:
    • MR Markup, MR Discount, NR Markup and NR Discounts can be edited inline (similar to Salesforce list views)
    • Depending on which value is edited the corresponding value ($ amount or % is automatically updated)
    • Changed fields are marked in yellow
    • Changes can be reverted at any time by clicking Revert Changes
    • Identical discounts can be applied to multiple items (all or selection) using Bulk update panel at the bottom
ImportantMR (monthly recurring) markups and discounts are not shown for non-recurring, ‘widget’ products, as they do not apply.
