MANAGE CUSTOMER VOLUME DISCOUNTS

If you are using the discount method Aggregate Volume by Customer or Aggregate Volume by Customer w/Burden, use this screen to store the range of sales volumes and discount percentages that you want to apply by customer. 

If the Include in Aggregate Volume check box is selected on the Manage Government Contract Information screen and the discount method is Aggregate Volume by Customer or Aggregate Volume by Customer w/Burden, the Compute Revenue screen and the Calculate Standard Bills screen reference this table to determine what discount percentages to apply. Select the discount method on the Other Info tab of the Manage Project Billing Information screen or the Manage Revenue Information screen.

The volume of business is based on the total funded value by customer. If the Include in Aggregate Volume check box is selected on the Manage Government Contract Information screen, the projects total funded value by customer is summed to determine the total sales volume at the time you compute revenue or calculate bills. Most users use this feature to offer higher discounts to their customers if the volume of business continues to increase.

You can include projects that do not use the discount functionality for revenue and billing (by selecting the Include in Aggregate Volume check box on the Manage Government Contract Information screen) if you want to include their funding amounts in the aggregate sales volume calculation.

Use this screen to initialize your customer volume discounts and before you compute revenue and calculate bills.
