Do you want to change the way discounts are presented on your invoices, orders, and quotes? Would you rather print just the adjusted unit price and not use two lines to print each discounted item? Now you can use SNP - Net Price On Document to change the way discounts are printed on documents!

With SNP - Net Price On Document, the unit price of an item is automatically recalculated when a discount percentage is entered in Sales Invoicing/Order Entry, then the discount is set back to 0, forcing only the adjusted price to be shown on screen and printed on your documents.

Before installing SNP - Net Price On Documents, the document entry screen and printed document would look like the following examples when a line includes a discount:

The adjusted price will be automatically rounded to two decimal places. If you want the adjusted price rounded to four decimal places, you need enhancement SN4 - Four Decimal Net Price instead.

When editing documents that contain adjusted unit prices, the unit price will default to the adjusted net price and the discount will default to 0.

A new function key, F6-Update Price, will be available when the cursor is at the unit price field. Press F6 if you want the adjusted price and discount to be reset to the defaults from the Accounts Receivable and/or Inventory files. After pressing F6 and Enter, the default prices will be recalculated and the Net Price will shown on screen and on the printed documents.

If you Escape from the Tax Status flag to the Discount field after the unit price has been adjusted, the discount may be set back to the default value in the Customer file resulting in the unit price being adjusted again. To prevent this from happening, always complete the line entry, then enter N at the Accept prompt to make changes. This will help to assure the correct price adjustments are made.
