Node Preferences > Transactions > Discounts Preferences
The Node Preferences > Transactions > Discounts area has preferences related discount rounding, accumulated discounts, and other discounting options.
| Preference | Description |
|---|---|
| Discount Rounding Method |
Normal: (default) Round to the nearest multiple. Example: .27 rounds to .30, .22 rounds to .20. |
| Accumulate manual discounts | When enabled, manual discounts are accumulated. When disabled, entering a manual discount replaces the existing manual discount. Note: Price Level and Customer discounts always accumulate, regardless of this preference. Default=disabled |
| Accumulate Spread Discounts |
When enabled, Prism accumulates spread discounts. When disabled, spreading a discount more than once replaces the existing spread discount. For example, you can enter one transaction and spread it, then enter a second transaction discount and spread it with the discounts accumulating. Note: This preference does not work on line-item discounts. |
| Automatically spread sale discounts | If selected, sale discounts entered at the transaction level are automatically spread Default=disabled |
| Automatically spread order discounts | If selected, order discounts entered at the transaction level are automatically spread. Default=disabled |
| Enable Employee Maximum Discount Override |
Whenever a discount is entered on a transaction, the Prism web client checks the Employee Max Disc % defined in the current logged-in user's employee record to see if the discount exceeds the allowed maximum. If the discount exceeds the allowed maximum, the discount is reduced, with the user informed via a toast message. |
| Disable display of negative Discount % |
If a price change results in a negative discount percentage, the discount percentage is displayed as negative. |
| Default Single Item Discount Type | This preference determines what is selected by default in the Discount column for items on transactions (Price, % or Amt). When entering an item discount on the main transaction form, users first select the type of discount - Price, %, or Amount - and then enter a value. If discounts are always entered as a percentage, you can select % as the Default Single Item Discount Type. |
| Show One Item Discount Option | This preference limits the displayed discount options in the POS UI to only the selected Default Single Item Discount Type. If enabled, when the user goes to edit a discount, only the Default Single Item Discount Type will be displayed. If disabled (default), the user will see all three option types (discount, percentage, and price). Default=disabled |
| Show Discount Reasons Prompt | If selected, users are prompted to select a discount reason when entering an item discount. Default=disabled |
