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