Creating Change Orders in Business Manager - D-Tools Forum

Soundboy · 02-26-2009, 01:13 AM

I'm trying to create a change order for a project that I have equipment discounts for. I can generate the change order with no problem. The problem is that I dont want the additions to the project have discounts. I want them to be regular price. Is there a way to have the additional equipment added to the project not show a discount?

...and go to the very end to read the verdict. Then scroll up a few posts for a better solution to discounting.

Thanks Kevin, I knew there was a reason why I'm using your products. It sucks that we have to go thru all this just to get a discount. Is this going to be a fix in 5.5?

At the moment, all discounts take place via the phase definition (equipment +/-), or package definition (discount), so Kevin's suggestions are the way to go.

For the future, specifying per-item or per-group discounts is very high up on our priority list and will be certainly be addressed. However it is not included in 5.5 since this requires a very fundamental change to the pricing model.

What is in 5.5 is the ability to show more pricing fields on custom reports (like Adjusted Price = Base Price + Equipment Adjustment), which will make it easier to show the discounts already in there.
