You can set maximum discounts for items in the Max% box in the Item database. When you use this function, the system determines the maximum discount on each item according to the minimum gross profit percentage to make on the item and the cost that you specify. Setting maximum discounts is a way of protecting your gross profit margin on items. The system compares the cost and list and determines the amount of discount allowed to maintain the gross profit percentage that you specify. The system automatically enters the discount percentage in the Max % box in the Items database. If the current cost and list already cause the item to fall below your specified gross profit percent, the system sets the Net field to Y. When an order is placed for an item that falls below the specified gross profit percentage, the system prompts the order-writer. The order-writer may override the selling price, the percent, or accept the default price.

Note: You should run this function each quarter after item updates have been loaded.
