Customer Discounts

Edited

Overview

HirePOS provides flexible options for applying customer discounts. You can define a default discount percentage for each customer, applicable across all items or limited to specific item types such as Hire, Sales, or Non-Stock items.

Additionally, HirePOS allows you to set customer-specific pricing down to the item level, ensuring precise control over how discounts are applied.

Access customer discounts

To create or adjust customer-specific discounts, follow these steps:

1.      Navigate to Setup > Customers.

2.      Select the customer you wish to create the specific pricing for.

3.      Select the Discounts tab in the customer record.

From this tab, you will find various options for setting up discounts for the selected customer.

Discount Methods

Top level discount %

In the Discounts tab, several fields allow you to control customer-specific pricing and discount rates:

General Discount %

Affects ALL items, regardless of type.

Hire Discount %

Only affects "Hire" items, and overrides any General discount.

Sales Discount %

Only affects "Sales" items, and overrides any General discount.

Non-Stock Discount %

Only affects “Non-Stock” items, and overrides any General discount.

No Damage Waiver

Prevents a "Damage Waiver" auto-add item from adding to new customer sales records.

Item/Group Discounts

For more granular control, you can apply specific discounts or set special pricing for individual items or groups of items using the Item/Group Discounts button.

Clicking the Item/Group Discounts button will take you to a screen where you can define these item-specific prices and discounts.

Selling Unit Groups

If you utilise Selling Unit Groups, you can assign customers to a specific Discount Unit Group. When a customer is linked to a selling unit group, the Autocalc feature will automatically choose units of this group rather than the normal retail selling unit. In this sense, it is possible for example to set up Day, Day (Bronze), Day (Silver) and Day (Gold) selling units, and the relevant Gold, Silver or Bronze unit will be chosen where applicable.
