You should carefully plan your business needs before you set up your Discount Codes. To help you set up Discount Codes, set up a table of possible customer/stock item combinations and indicate weather the combination results in a discount. For Discount prices, you should also indicate the discount percentage.

For example, come up with the different types of customers you have who might receive a discount. You would enter these in the Discount box of the AR Customers window.

Then come up with different product types that might receive a discount.You would enter these in the Discount box on the Sales Info tab of the IN Stock window. For example:

If the combination results in a discount, then you will need to set up the Code in Accounts Receivable, Inventory, and Sales.

You have now identified the Discount Codes you need. Once you enter the Discount Codes in Inventory, you can create the discounts in Sales so the system automatically uses the pricing with no additional effort from the salesperson during sales entry.
