no there is no 10% setup applied to the non-stock item, that was just an example i used.

I noticed one thing, the discount did calculate on the non-stock item because there was a base price, where the stock item had no base price. the stock item's sales price was entered at the point of ordering.

this would seem inconvenient if you have to 1st change the base price to the price you want then proceed to order and invoice just to get the correct discount amount.

there has to be another way. we sell big ticket items and really each customer sale negotiated therefore there is no standard at this point.

what shall i do? is there another spec i can use? or do you suggest that i change each of our 200 items to have base prices in order to get the discount amount i desire. Please make suggestions. thx.
