Discounts

Overview

If your extracted table contains the Discount or Discount Percentage column, DocBits will automatically apply the corresponding discount to the Unit Price during processing in the Purchase Order Matching screen.

Exceptions

Discounts will not be automatically applied when the multi-match feature is used. More information about the multi match feature can be found here.

Discount Calculation

When a Discount is present, the discounted unit price is calculated by subtracting the discount amount from the unit price:

UNIT_PRICE_DISCOUNTED = UNIT_PRICE - DISCOUNT

Discount Percentage Calculation

When a Discount Percentage is present, the discounted unit price is calculated using the following formula:

UNIT_PRICE_DISCOUNTED = UNIT_PRICE * (1 - DISCOUNT_PERCENT / 100)

Rounding

All discounted unit price results are rounded to four decimal places for consistency in downstream processing.
