Located in the Main Records menu of the Sales and Distribution section. The discounts applied by the company during sales are recorded in the invoices. The discounts can be applied to a material or service item, or to the slip bottom.
In the LOGO application, discounts applied,
- to a material or service are called line discounts,
- to the slip bottom are called general discounts
Likewise, the material or service specific surcharges and slip bottom surcharges are different from each other.

The discounts can be written on the order, dispatch or invoice documents as percentage or amount. The following two examples describe the usage areas of the Sales Discount and Sales Surcharges:
Example 1:
If a discount of 10% is applied for the sales of a material up to 100 pieces, and 20% is applied for sales exceeding 100 pieces, this rule is defined in a Sales Discount for the calculation of discounts. By doing so, the application automatically determines the correct discount rate when this material is sold.
Example 2:
If a discount of 10% is applied to cash orders, this rule is defined in a Sales Discount, and the Sales Condition field is used to specify that the 10% discount is applied to all cash orders. Then the application applies 10% discount to all cash sales automatically. Likewise, standard surcharges such as transportation for delivery can be specified as Sales Conditions. By doing so, the discounts and surcharges to be applied do not have to be specified separately during order or invoice entry.
