[webERP-users] Special discount for one customer

[Warren O. <to...@wa...>]

We have a new customer with an agreed discount that is different from our standard arrangement. They will need to be able to purchase all of our products with a 50% discount (as opposed to the standard 40%). I've looked at the page on the wiki but I'm sorry it's not clear how to set this up. The page suggests that it's possible to create a discount category and then add products to it, but upon trying it doesn't appear possible for a product to be assigned two discount categories? I might be mistaken?

Perhaps one way to explain it is to provide the required discount matrix:

Sales Type: Consignment
Discount Category: SD
Quantity Break: 1
Discount Rate %: 30

Sales Type: Trade
Discount Category: SD
Quantity Break: 1
Discount Rate %: 40

Sales Type: Trade
Discount Category: FD
Quantity Break: 1
Discount Rate %: 50

Is this possible?
The only other workaround I can see is to create a new price list specific to that customer, e.g. Trade50. The prices would be the same (as Trade) but it provide a way to target the 50% discount for that customer in the Discount matrix without modifying the Discount category. The only issue I can see is that I would need to setup a new price list for each product?

It's perhaps worth adding that we don't apply discounts based on quantity ordered. All our products have a standard price (the recommended retail) with individual customers set at agreed discount levels from that: 0%, 30%, 40%, 50% etc.

Any help appreciated!
