Fields

Field	Description
Service	The service from the price list
Min Quantity	Minimum quantity required to trigger the discount
Max Quantity	Maximum quantity for the tier (leave blank for unlimited)
Discount (%)	Percentage discount applied to the line

How It Works

When the quantity of a line in a sample order changes, the application checks whether a matching volume discount tier exists for that service. If it does, the corresponding percentage discount is applied automatically to the line.

Tiers are evaluated by the Min Quantity and Max Quantity range
If Max Quantity is blank, the tier applies to any quantity at or above Min Quantity
Multiple tiers can exist for the same service (for example: 10--49 units at 5%, 50+ units at 10%)
The automatic discount is applied only when no manual discount has been set on the line — a manual discount always overrides the automatic one
The discount is applied after any contract price substitution

Example

Service	Min Quantity	Max Quantity	Discount
Soil pH Analysis	10	49	5%
Soil pH Analysis	50	—	10%

An order with 25 units of Soil pH Analysis receives a 5% discount. An order with 60 units receives 10%.

Frequently Asked Questions

What happens if quantity tiers overlap?

The application applies the tier with the largest minimum quantity that the order quantity satisfies. To avoid ambiguity, ensure that the Min/Max ranges for the same service do not overlap.

Which discount wins, manual or automatic?

The manual discount always wins. If the user sets a line discount manually, the automatic volume discount is not applied.

Can I set different tiers for each service?

Yes. Tiers are defined per service. Each service can have its own quantity tiers, or none at all.

Can volume discounts and price contracts apply at the same time?

Yes. The contract price replaces the catalog price first, and then the volume discount is applied on top of it.

Are volume discounts visible on the invoice?

The sample order shows the discount percentage per line. The invoice shows only the final (discounted) line price, not the discount percentage.
