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 %.
• Percentage (%) - Items are discounted individually by a %.
• Dollar - Total Invoice is reduced by a dollar amount.
• Price - The price of an item is reduced.
• Promotional - All items offered under a Special Promotion are discounted (except in BCSS Intro).

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:

Line-Item Discounts

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

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.

Accounting for Discounts in BCSS

Promotional Discounts and % Discount are absorbed by the store. Price and Dollar Discounts are not.

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

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.

Employee Commission Adjustments (BCSS Diamond and Virtual)

A Discount of the Total Sale and a promotional discount do not reduce Employee commission.

A Dollar-Amount Line Item Discount and a Percentage Discount do reduce Employee commission.
