Price Levels Using Average Cost

Hello.  I am trying to establish quantity pricing discounts but only have the option to set the discount against the cost, not the average cost.  Is it possible to build price levels and quantity discounts based on average cost?

 

Thanks in advance for any insights

Price Levels Using Average Cost

Thank you for contacting the Community forum, Kjlibby. We have a workaround that can help you achieve your goal of offering discounts. Let me share it with you.

 

The option to set up a quantity pricing discount for average cost is unavailable, as the price level is based on a fixed amount or percentage. However, we can add a service item named a discount with a negative amount or percentage. After creating this, we can include it as an item on your invoices, displaying the total amount after the discount was added. Here's how we can create an item:

 

  1. Go to Lists, and click Item Lists.
  2. On the bottom left corner, select the Item dropdown and hit New.
  3. Under Type, select Service for it to show on the item list for invoices.
  4. For the Item Name, you can type discount or anything you want it to show.
  5. In the Rate field, please enter the discount amount as a negative value or percentage.
  6. Hit OK to save.

 

Check out this article and follow step 2 on adding the discount to your invoice: Use discount and subtotal items on an Invoice.

Let us know if you have any other concerns about discounts. We're available 24/7 to assist you. Have a wonderful day.
