Manual Discount Report

Manual Discount Report

Manual Discount Report Overview 

Reports -> Sales Reports -> "Manual Discount"

You can provide the manual discount to the customer during the checkout. Although the system discount might be applied if it is applicable, apart from that, a cashier can provide the manual discount as per the need, such as if the product is damaged or the retail price is reduced, etc.

Enabling Manual Discount
Navigate to the "POS Panels" settings [Point Of Sale -> Maintenance -> Settings & Panels -> POS Panels] to set up a Manual Discount action on the POS button. You need to choose the button type from "Button Settings." To apply the manual discount, you will have two options: Dollar Discount | Percentage Discount
- Dollar Discount: The cashier can apply the dollar ($) amount discount manually to the sale during checkout.
- Percentage Discount: The cashier can apply the percentage discount (%) to the total amount of the sale during checkout. 

The Manual Discount Report will provide the applied manual discount on the sales transactions. You can also check the employee's name who applied the manual discount and the customer's name if they are already entered in the system.
