Setting up the same item bonus functionality

Related topics

This functionality gives you the possibility to offer a sales incentive in the form of a “same item bonus”, i.e. the customer is not charged for one or more of the same item on a sales order. The functionality is activated via the Bonus flag on the Pricing policies panel in the DIS control file and is valid when pricing your items using sales price lists. When that flag is set to YES, the bonus related information will become visible in the system.

This functionality requires that the following is set up:

Customer file panel

For the applicable customer, toggle to the Customer file panel and set the Order qty to deliver flag to YES or NO denoting if the order quantity must be delivered in full to be able to receive any same item bonus.

Examples:

  • The customer requires the entire order quantity to be delivered (i.e. set the Order qty to deliver flag to YES). The customer orders 10 pieces. The bonus is calculated based on the ordered quantity (10 pieces). The system will look at the bonus condition details for the valid date interval and calculate the quantity to invoice for the item on the order line if the ordered quantity matches or exceeds the Quantity to deliver (set up in the bonus conditions on the sales price list) for the item. A full delivery must be confirmed to be able to receive any same item bonus; partial delivery is not allowed.
  • The customer does not require the entire order quantity to be delivered (i.e. set the Order qty to deliver flag to NO). The customer orders 10 pieces, but the delivered quantity may be less than the ordered quantity. The system will look at the bonus condition details for the valid date interval and calculate the quantity to invoice for the item on the order line if the ordered quantity matches or exceeds the Quantity to deliver (set up in the bonus conditions on the sales price list) for the item. A partial delivery is allowed.
