How to Enter a Discount for a Contact

When documenting a new customer for the first time, you may wish to record whether they receive a special discount on framing, i.e. a wholesale % discount for an artist or interior designer. Enter the percentage amount in a decimal format. This information will auto-fill on any Work Order you create for this customer.

  1. Locate the customer's Contact record.

  2. Open the Terms tab.

  3. First decide whether you are giving a discount based on the entire Work Order or based on specific groups, e.g. a discount on glass or mounting.

    Unless it is intentional, be careful you are not giving a discount on a discount, for example, discounting wood moulding and then also discounting the entire Work Order.

  4. In the Discount field, enter the amount, e.g. 15% would be entered as  15 .

  5. Optionally, enter the Terms, e.g.  Net/30 .

  6. In the Work Order Components Discounts section, enter any applicable discounts.

    This allows you to assign a discount to a specific group only.

  7. Optionally, open the Keywords tab, add “Artist Discount” and mark it for this customer. This provides an easy way to search all artists who buy wholesale from you. See also: Contacts - Keywords Tab

  8. Now every time you create a work order for this customer, their discount will auto-fill in the % field in the Pricing Section, Options tab, of the Work Order.

    If the discount is only for a specific component, then their discount will auto-fill in the detail view screen of that component. As always, this can be manually over-ridden. This information appears on the Work Order Detailed Summary.
