How to print the difference between the list price and the unit price for items on Sales Order Processing order forms in Microsoft Dynamics GP

INTRODUCTION

This article describes how to print the difference between the list price and the unit price for items on Sales Order Processing order forms in Microsoft Dynamics GP and in Microsoft Business Solutions – Great Plains 8.0.

Consider the following scenario. An item on a sales order is an inventoried item. The item has a pricing method of % of List Price . The list price is $100.00, and the item is sold at 90 percent of the list price. Therefore, the discount is 10 percent.

When you follow the steps in this article, the original, unmodified discount field will print on the Sales Order Processing order form when one or more of the following conditions are true:

• The items use a pricing method other than % of List Price .
• A markdown amount or a markdown percent is entered for the item in the Sales Transaction Entry window.
• The item is a non-inventoried item.
