Multiline Trade Agreement Purchasing Discount in Dynamics AX 2012

In Dynamics AX 2012, Multiline trade agreements are used in purchasing multiple items to provide a discount for an individual, group or all items which apply to:

1. • • an individual client or vendor
     • a group of clients or vendors
     • or all clients or vendors

   Multiline Trade Agreement Purchasing Discount Scenario:

   For this example, company X wants its vendor discount to be automatically set in Dynamics AX 2012 before they complete their purchasing order. This company will be purchasing multiple items from a specific vendor and will receive a discount for the purchase of multiple items. For example, purchasing 0-100 units from this vendor will give them a 5% discount, if they purchase 100-500 items, they will receive a 10% discount and if they purchase over 500 items, they will receive a 20% discount. Keep in mind they have to purchase two separate items; hence the name multiline discount.
