RE: Multiple % discounts in an order – How to treat that?
Hi,
We have some customers that have multiple discounts % on an order that need to be applied on the subtotal of the order.
-
They cannot be lumped together as they are hitting different GL’s.
-
We are receiving those through EDI (or entered manually), here’s an example: Order subtotal is $1000.
-
Warehousing allowance – 0.25% of subtotal or <$2.50>
-
Spoilage allowance – 1% of subtotal <$100>
-
Distribution allowance – 2% of subtotal <$200>
-
-
When we invoice the customer, if the subtotal invoice doesn’t match the subtotal of the order, these different discounts need to be adjusted to the right $ (but still same % based on subtotal), as example if the invoice subtotal is $900, the discounts would end-up being:
-
Warehousing allowance – 0.25% of subtotal or <$2.25>
-
Spoilage allowance – 1% of subtotal <$90>
-
Distribution allowance – 2% of subtotal <$180>
-
When adding the subtotal in NetSuite, I can add one discount, but that doesn’t do the trick, I need to have multiple different type of discounts all calculated vs the original subtotal (not the subtotal – discount 1, etc…)
Any suggestion on how to do get to this?
Use Line-Item Discounts, preferably in combination with Subtotal Items if the customization and reporting in your account can handle it.
