Hello All,

Help with the following issue will be very much appreciated

We are running RMS 2.0 and we need to have automatic discount setup for certain type of items.

For example a 12 pack of  soft drink should sell for 7 dollars but if the costumer buys two packs the program should automatically discount the products to let us say 6.50 each.

We tried going through all the discount options, discount schedules A, B,C but nothing seems to work for us. I am sure we are not doing something right.

Again any help will be very much appreciated.

Do you sell a 12-pack as 12 individual items, or you have a 12-pack item for that?

Sorry, missed your response. IMHO, the standard Mix & Match is what you need. Price level ABC have nothing to do with it. From the RMS Help file:

Discounts command
Use the Discounts command to define Mix and Match and Buy X, Get Y for Z discounts. With Mix and Match discounts, customers receive a discount when they buy a quantity of similar items. With Buy X, Get Y for Z discounts, customers receive a number of items free or at a discounted price when they buy a certain quantity of those items at the regular price.

When you click Discounts on the Database menu, you will see the Quantity Discounts window. Click New to create a new category; click Properties to revise the selected discount; click Copy to use the settings in the selected discount as the basis of a new discount; or click Delete to remove the selected discount from the database.

When you click New, Properties, or Copy, you will see the Discount window. The settings in this window will change depending on the type of discount you select.

Description: Enter a name for this discount. The description can be up to 30 characters long.

Click one of the links below to read about the settings for that type of discount.

Mix and Match: Unit price

Mix and Match: Percent off

Buy X and get Y for Z: Unit price

Buy X and get Y for Z: Percent off


Mix and Match: Unit price

Pricing schedule: In the Quantity column, enter the quantity the customer must buy in order to receive one of the prices in the other columns. In the Reg. Price column, enter the extended price for that quantity (the discounted price times the number of items). In the Level A, B, and C columns, enter the extended prices for that quantity when a price level is set on the transaction.

Discount odd items: If selected, odd items are charged at the discounted price. For example, assume the regular price of a candy bar is $1.40. Now, assume you have set the extended regular price for 3 candy bars at $3.75 ($1.25 per bar) and the extended regular price for 6 candy bars at $3.45 ($1.15 per bar). If the Discount odd items check box is not selected and the customer buys 4 candy bars, the customer would pay $3.75 for the first 3 candy bars and $1.40 for the 4th one, for a total of $5.15. If the Discount odd items check box is selected, the customer would pay $1.25 for each of the 4 candy bars, for a total of $5.00.

Mix and Match: Percent off

Pricing schedule: In the Quantity column, enter the quantity the customer must buy in order to receive one of the discounts in the other columns. In the Reg. Price column, enter the discount that should be applied when the customer purchases that quantity. In the Level A, B, and C columns, enter the discount that should be applied for that quantity when a price level is set on the transaction.

Discount odd items: If selected, the discount is also applied to odd items. For example, assume the regular price of a candy bar was $1.40. Now, assume you have set a 10% discount when 3 candy bars are purchased. If the Discount odd items check box is not selected and the customer buys 4 candy bars, the customer would pay $1.26 for each of the first 3 candy bars and $1.40 for the 4th one. If the Discount odd items check box is selected, the customer would pay $1.26 for each of the 4 candy bars.

Buy X and get Y for Z: Unit price

Quantity to Buy at full price: Enter the number of items that the customer needs to buy before receiving the discount.

Quantity to Get at discount: Enter the number of items that the customer will receive at a discount.

Discount price: Enter the price for the discounted items.

For example, if you want customers to receive one item free when they purchase two other items, you would enter "2" in the Quantity to Buy at full price box, "1" in the Quantity to Get at discount box, and "$0.00" in the Discount price box.

Buy X and get Y for Z: Percent off

Quantity to Buy at full price: Enter the number of qualified items that the customer needs to buy before receiving the discount.

Quantity to Get at discount: Enter the number of qualified items that the customer will receive at a discount.

Discount Percent: Enter the discount that will be applied to the discounted items.

For example, if you want customers to receive one item at half price when they purchase two other items, you would enter "2" in the Quantity to Buy at full price box, "1" in the Quantity to Get at discount box, and "50%" in the Discount price box.
