You can use volume discounts to reduce a given cost center's charges by a fixed percentage when those charges exceed a threshold amount. Specify volume discounts on the Volume Discounts Specification panel (MWF;4;2;3;2;2;2). Use the Volume Discount Worksheet, Figure 4-68, to specify the volume (charge) thresholds and their associated percentages which are used to compute the discount. The percentage specified is subtracted from the cost center invoice if the net charge exceeds the threshold amount. The computation is performed according to the method specified (Maximum, Piecewise, or Accumulative).

Figure 4-68. Volume Discount Worksheet
Use this worksheet to define the following parameters:
1. COMPUTATION METHOD
Description: The method used for computing the
threshold. Valid values are MAXIMUM, PIECEWISE, and
ACCUMULATIVE. The computations are made as follows:
MAXIMUM Only the discount associated with the
highest qualifying level amount is
applied.
PIECEWISE Each discount percentage is applied to
that portion of the total charge that is
greater than the threshold and less than
the next highest qualifying level.
ACCUMULATIVE Each discount percentage is applied to
that total charge and subtracted from the
total prior to computing the next highest
discount amount.
2. QUALIFYING AMOUNT AND DISCOUNT PERCENTAGE
Description: The associated percentage of the total
charges will be subtracted from the total for amounts in
excess of the applicable qualifying amount. The
applicable qualifying amount differs with the computation
method.
Default: None
Values: Qualifying Amount: Numeric, 0 - 99999999
Discount Percentage: Numeric, 0 - 99.9999
3. COST CENTER LEVEL
Description: The cost center level with which the
qualifying amount and percentage are associated. Volume
discounts are only computed for cost centers which are
invoiced. Any volume discounts specified for cost center
levels not invoiced will be ignored.
Default: 1
Values: Qualifying Amount - Numeric, 0 - 99999999
EXAMPLE
In the example shown in Figure 4-69, cost centers whose total
charges exceed $10,000 receive a 10% discount and an
additional 30 percent discount on total charges exceeding
$50,000. Both of these specifications apply to charges
invoiced to cost centers at level 1.
