<A> = Add Freight/Discount/Restocking Fee: You may Add Freight, a Discount or Restocking Fee(if a CI or WI) for the Order. This will be printed on the appropriate location on your Invoice.

Freight is entered in dollar amounts. A minimum freight charge may be forced when finalizing the order at "POS Order Entry". Refer to "Force Minimum Freight" in the Print and Finalize Order section for detailed information. If the freight amount is blank the prompt will default to 0.

Discounts can be a dollar amount, a percentage, or multiple percentages.

If the discount amount is a percentage, be sure to type the <%> key at the end of the amount. There should be no space between the amount and percent sign.

Multiple percentage discounts may be taken on an Order. The percentages must be separated by a space. The percent sign (%) must precede the first amount. There should be no space between first amount and percent sign. Example: For a discount of 2% 2% the following would occur: $100 x 2% =  $2, ($100 - $2 = $98) $98 x 2% = $1.98. Total discount is $3.98 ($2.00 + $1.98). If a straight 4%, then the discount would be $4.00.

Note: The freight amount will always be checked against the order amount to determine if the freight exceeds the order amount. The following warning message will be displayed:

Warning: Freight Amount exceeds Total Merchandise Amount. Proceed? <Y/N>:

If the user accidentally typed the wrong amount, they can answer "N" and return to the freight amount prompt.

You may prevent a dollar amount discount from being recalculated when the total Invoice amount goes up. This feature is enabled in “POS Defaults and Comments” in SYSTEM MANAGEMENT (10.2.6.2 field 43 page 3). If enabled, Back Orders will not have the discount carried over to them. If a Customer is changed and you Recalculate prices, then the discount will be recalculated. If a Discount Percentage is entered or the Invoice goes down, the discount will be recalculated.

An Automatic Discount may be given to a Customer. The discount is added when a new Order is started. This feature is setup in “Customer Entry” in ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE (6.1.1 field 50). Once given, the discount may be changed through this feature until the Order is Finalized. To delete the discount press <CTRL><C>. You may not change/delete the discount if the Order is Finalized.

You may also add a Restocking Fee, if the “Order Type” is a Credit Return. If set up in “POS Defaults & Comments” in SYSTEM MANAGEMENT (10.2.6.2 fields 20, 21 & 22 page 2) to calculate the Restocking Fee, an amount will be displayed. To accept the displayed amount, just press <ENTER>. Restocking Fees can be either a dollar amount, or a percentage. If the amount is a percentage, be sure to type the <%> key at the end of the amount. There should be no space between the amount and percent sign. Enter in the percentage amount, <%> and press <ENTER>.
