Please refer to Aged-Inventory Discounts for discounting inventory (prior to POS) as it remains unsold.

Price Discount at the Point of Sale

There are 5 types of discounts at the point of sale:

• Percentage (%) - Total Invoice is reduced by a %. (not absorbed by the store)
• Percentage (%) - Items are discounted individually by a %. (not absorbed by the store)
• Dollar - Total Invoice is reduced by a dollar amount. (absorbed by the store)
• Price - The price of an item is reduced. (not absorbed by the store)
• Promotional - All items offered under a Special Promotion are discounted (except in BCSS Intro). (absorbed by the store)

Any of the 5 discounts can apply at the same time or in combination. If one discount is changed, the others are not affected. BCSS tracks the amount of each discount and computes the correct total.

Discounts by price, percent and dollar amount are entered on the New-Sale Screen.

Discounting the Entire Invoice at the Point of Sale

Press F6 to open a new sales invoice.

Process a New Sale.

The discount may be entered as a dollar amount and/or as a percentage:

This discount is not absorbed by the store. It applies to the consignor's share and the store's share.

Line-Item Discounts

Reduce the cost of a single item by entering the amount of the discount (in decimal form) in the '% Off' field:

This discount is not absorbed by the store. It applies to the consignor's share and the store's share.

Promotional Discounts

Promotional Discounts are auto-entered by BCSS (during a Special Promotion only).

A Promotional Discount will only appear in the Discount field during a Special Promotion. It may be edited to increase or decrease it.

This discount is absorbed by the store. It is not deducted from the consignor's share.

Accounting for Discounts in BCSS

Discounts by %, Age or Price are shared by the consignor and the store. (If a $100 item is discounted by 10%, for example, and the split is 50-50, the consignor receives $45 and the store receives $45.)

Dollar ($) and Promotional (%) Discounts are absorbed by the store (not deducted from the consignor's share). (If a $100 item is discounted by $10, for example, and the split is 50-50, the consignor receives $50 and the store receives $40.) (On invoices with multiple items from multiple consignors, it is not possible to proportion a dollar or promotional discount to each item.)

A % Discount reduces the settlement amount. Dollar and Promotional Discounts do not reduce the settlement amount.

Promotional discounts can be by invoice or category or both. If both are specified, both apply. If only one is specified, that one applies.

Finalizing the Invoice

After the last item is entered, remove any items by selecting the item and selecting the Remove-Item button.

If applicable, check Non-Taxable and select COD, Net 30 or Prepaid from the Terms field.

Select Payment Method under Enter Payment Below and enter Amount Paid. Change due to the Buyer, if any, will appear at the bottom if the field named 'Due'.

If applicable, check 'Send Mailings' and/or select an Employee in the 'Sold by' field.

Select 'Preview, Print, Save' to print preview and print a copy of the invoice.

Select 'Save' to save the sale.

Once the Invoice is saved, it may be located in the Sales Work Area List.
