Steps
Discount order
If many discounts are in effect it is possible that there are some cases in which it is unwanted for all the discounts that are
in effect to add up. In those cases a stop must be placed in the row of the discounts that are in effect in that specific case.
The order in which the row is ordered is fixed. The row is ordered by adding all the used discount fields for each discount.
Each has a different value as can be seen below:
64 32 16 8 4 2 1
Happy hours Continues
period
Quantum
Discount
Card Group Device Group Product
Group

For example the discounts a user can enjoy are:
Discount 1 Happy hours Quantum Discount Card Group Device Group
Discount 2 Product Group Device Group Card Group -
Discount 3 Product Continues period - -
The order numbers for the example discounts are:

Discount 1 has order number 92
(64+16+8+4)
0 0 0 8 4 2 0
Discount 2 has order number 14
(8+4+2)
0 32 0 0 0 0 1
Discount 3 has order number 33
(32+1)
The highest number will be applied first. So the order is: Discount 1 (order number 92), Discount 3 (order number 33),
Discount 2 (order number 14).
In this case Discount 1 is processed first, Discount 3 second and Discount 2 is the third Discount being processed.
So if the 'stop looking for further discount entries' box is checked in the Discount which uses 'Product' and 'Continues Period'
(Discount 3), the software will not take Discount 2 into account because it is further down the row then Discount 3 where a
stop (the check box 'stop looking for further discount entries') has been placed.
