Does anyone else have customers with multiple discount terms?

We have a complicated pricing structure. It doesn't involve multiple disconts based on payment, but does involve all kinds of pricing calculations based on item type, configured options, quantities, and customer. What we did was set up our pricing in UD Tables and then use BPMs to make the calculations at the time of order entry. I don't see why UD tables and some BPMs couldn't do the same for your situation. Its not an easy thing to do, but should be cheaper then having Epicor do a complete customization for you.

Hi all,

We are a manufacturer of RV furniture and it is common in our industry
for companies to have multiple discount terms. For example we have a
customer that receives a 2% discount if we receive payment by the 25th
for invoices dated between the 1st-15th of each month. They also
receive a discount if we receive a payment by the 10th of the
following month for invoices dated between the 16th-31st. We contacted
Epicor about making a BPM for this and they said they couldn't do it.
So we just received their quote today on a customization and wanted to
see if anybody else has had similar problem before we cough up 10
grand for them to do it.

Thanks in advance

Eric
