Discount (%)Percentage discount applied to the line

How It Works

When a service is added to a sample order, the application checks whether the quantity falls within a volume discount tier. 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 discount is applied after any contract price substitution

Example

ServiceMin QuantityMax QuantityDiscount
Soil pH Analysis10495%
Soil pH Analysis5010%

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

Frequently Asked Questions

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.

What happens if quantity tiers overlap?

The application uses the first matching tier. To avoid ambiguity, ensure that the Min/Max ranges for the same service do not overlap.

Are volume discounts visible on the invoice?

The discount is reflected in the line total on both the order and the resulting invoice. The customer sees the discounted price, not the discount percentage.
