Company Variable 26: Define Percentage Which Total Discount Compared to Total Amount Cannot Exceed
Use this Company Variable to specify the maximum total discount, in percent, that can be applied to a Job Price Quote.
The total discount on a Job Price Quote cannot exceed the percentage that you enter for this Company Variable. For example, if you enter 10, the maximum total discount cannot exceed 10% of the total Job Price Quote amount.
This Company Variable works hand-in-hand with Company Variable 27: Define Amount Which Total Discount Compared to Total Amount Cannot Exceed.
Consider this scenario:
- Job Price Quote = $10,000
- Company Variable 26 (maximum discount in percent) = 10%
- Company Variable 27 (maximum actual discount) = $500
If you enter a total discount of $750, WorkBook rejects it even if it is less than 10% of the Job Price Quote because it exceeds the amount specified in Company Variable 27.
