Definition
Discount Group is used to gather items that should be handled with the same discount by the recipient.
Explanation
Discount groups make it possible to structure the assortment into different strategic groups based on the product’s characteristics, such as product category or area of use.
The purpose is to provide recipients with a clear basis for discount management and pricing in their systems.
Even if you as a supplier do not work with different discount levels yourself, it is important that items are grouped in a logical and consistent way. A well-considered grouping creates better structure and makes the information more useful further down the supply chain.
Please note that items with different discount levels cannot be placed in the same discount group. Discount groups are also often used as a basis for calculations and price management in recipient systems.
Usage
The supplier specifies a discount group for each item.
Finfo verifies that the same discount group is used consistently and does not appear with different designations.
Recipients use the discount group to manage discounts and calculations in their systems.
