On the basis of destination discounts can be either position discounts or document discounts. Manual discounts are given by an operator s initiative, considering conditions, specified by administrator and restricting cashier s independent actions. Automatical discounts are given on the basis of conditions specified by administrator without an operator s action. For more details on how to create discounts see Administrator s guide. Here is an example of creating simple automatical discount for a group of items. When a customer buys two or more pairs of shoes (from the group of items Women s shoes ), the customer receives a 5% document discount. 1. First you need to create a discount rate. Go to the category Directories-Discount- Rates:

21 Quick start 21 For future convenience of a discount visual search, fill in the field Name. The field Group is designed to combine joint discounts. In this example we have a single discount and therefore should leave the field empty. Value is a discount type and its value. Discount values can be absolute (-$ or +$) and relative (-% or +%). Calculation of a total with a discount is done through the following formulas: For - $ and + $: TotalAfter Discount = Total ± Value For - % and + %: TotalAfter Discount = Total ± Total * Value 100 A value can also be specified using formula (for more details see Administrator s guide ). For a manual discount it is not required to specify its value as it will be chosen by an operator. Set Type to automatical. The field Destination contains an object of discounting which can be a document or a position. Choose a document. 2. Create conditions of discounting. In this example: quantity of items must be equal to 2 or more. Go to the category Conditions. This section contains Condition groups which combine Discounts and conditions. A group is a set of joint discounts. Pressing the button you open the card of a new group:

22 22 Frontol v Use the checkbox Active to temporarily disable a discount without deleting it. Then create a condition in the category Discount and conditions : The name is free of choice for the future convenience of a visual search, e.g. Shoes discount. Choose the discount rate: Discount 5%. Go to the tab The item. The discount is given when buying two or more items, therefore, set the parameter Quantity in the field Greater of equal to the value 2. And in the field Item choose the items for which the discount is given. 3. Create Discount object : Directories-Discount-Discount objects:

23 Quick start 23 In the field Condition group choose the created group Discount on quantity. Now you can start the item s registration. Registration control Frontol supports both local registration control of each item and global control of all items. The parameters can be configured in the category Main-Registration control. For configuration of the global registration control three options are available: Item the operation is allowed or not allowed depending on the settings of the item card.
