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:
- Open quote details
- Edit quote line item
- Update markup or discount as a dollar (or currency) amount or percentage — if the dollar amount is changed, the % is recalculated and vice versa
- Profit & margin calculations are updated real-time with every change
- Use Reset Markup/Discounts action to zero both markup and discount values
Updating multiple line items
- Open quote details
- Click Edit Markups/Discounts button
- 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
Important | MR (monthly recurring) markups and discounts are not shown for non-recurring, ‘widget’ products, as they do not apply. |
