Limit codes are used to store frequently used quantity, matrix quantities or amount discounts, (including FOC discounts for specific items), that are dependent upon the quantity entered or the amount on the quotation or sales order line. These could be typically used as a company standard.
For example, if your company standard is to give 1% discount for each 1000 sold then you would create a quantity limit code according to the following:
| Quantity | Discount |
|---|---|
| 1000 | 1% |
| 2000 | 2% |
| 3000 | 3% |
| 4000 | 4% |
| 5000 | 5% |
The limit codes are used in the following:
- Work with sales pricing methods
- Work with customer contracts
- Work with sales price lists, Items
- Item file, Sales prices.
