        Info

        The aggregation/consolidation of product lines for a sale order or quote does not apply to Non Stock Control Products. This means that contract discount or quantity break discount price will not be applied. This allows quote for printing service setup to be customised to reflect the work breakdown costing. Example 1 : A contract specifies that when ordering quantity is more than 10 for a non stock control product NSCP-A , a 10% discount will be applied to the product sell price.                      Place an order for product NSCP-A with quantity = 12, however create 2 separate product lines for NSCP-A with quantity = 6                      (as opposed to 1 product line for quantity = 12).                        Expected result : Aggregation/consolidation does not apply to the NSCP-A product lines thus the 10% contract discount will not apply to the sell price.         Example 2 : NSCP-A sell price is set at $1.00 each. Quantity break discount is set at $95.00 for order quantity more than 100                      Place an order for product NSCP-A with quantity = 120, however create 2 separate product lines for NSCP-A with quantity = 60                      (as opposed to 1 product line for quantity = 120).                        Expected result : Aggregation/consolidation does not apply to the NSCP-A product lines thus the quantity break discount will not apply to the sell price.
