You can apply FOC discounting through:
Pricing method | Can be of type Normal, Chain discounts or Promotion method. See Set up a pricing method and define FOC. |
Customer contract | See Add FOC items to a customer contract. |
Limit code | Can be linked to a customer contract, pricing method and/or price list. See Set up a quantity limit with FOC items as discount and Set up an amount limit with FOC items as discount. |
You can give FOC items as discounts in three ways:
Fixed | You can define the quantity of FOC to be given if the pre-defined quantity or amount limit is met. |
Percentage | You can set the percentage of the quantity to be given as FOC if the pre-defined amount or quantity limit is reached. If the FOC percentage is defined, you must indicate how you want the discount amount rounded via the Rounding field. The following three choices are available: Rounding down, Half adjust or Rounding up.
Example: You have set the quantity limit of 10 with FOC percentage as 20%. If you sell a quantity of 100 items you will have met your limit (the limit of 10). The number of items to be given FOC is calculated as 20% of 100 items, (i.e. 20 items are given as FOC on top of the 100). |
Multiple based | You can define FOC items based on multiples of items you sell. There is currently one panel value available (i.e. 1 = Multiples based on the limit). It means that the system will automatically calculate the FOC quantity or FOC quantity % according to the Quantity or Amount limit.
For example, if the Quantity limit is 10 and the FOC quantity is 1, the system will automatically calculate the FOC quantity for every 10 quantities of the FOC item that you sell. If the quantity you sell, is between 20-29, then give 2 FOC items. If quantity sold reaches the next multiple, i.e. 30, then give 3 FOC items, etc. |
