Purchase price list - Item discount group

Hi all

When selecting the Item discount group option in a purchase price list, the system gives me the following error:

The only way I can add the item discount group line is by copying a previously made price list and adjusting the entries.

Are there other people who are experiencing this issue? We have this issue in every SAAS environment (current version 19.5.36567.36634).

Thanks in advance!

Hi

I receive the same error. My guess is "Item Discount Group" is in sales side and cannot be used in purchase side. In other words, Item Discount is related to SO and cannot be used in Purchase order to categorize items. But looks like Purchase Price List and Sales Price List are identical. If you go to Sales Price List you can select it but not in Purchase Price list. It is possible a developer used one template for both page then wrote a code to disable "item Discount" for Purchase page.

Hi,

Thanks for checking within your environment!

We were already creating purchase price lists with the item discount groups and that worked exactly as planned. In one of the past updates, this error message suddenly popped up. It's strange that the functionality in itself works well, but you are just unable to select the option in the purchase price list.

I also checked 19.3 and 20 (next release) and all have the same error. It could be in first version they did not catch this and then they changed it. You can open the case with Microsoft on this and maybe they bring it back. I can see your use case here and benefits.

Two years have passed since the last response, and Microsoft has still not provided a solution for the new functionality: New Sales Pricing Experience in version 25 in combination with Purchase Price List and Item Discount Groups.

Utilizing Item Discount Groups in the Purchase Price List can facilitate usage. This functionality allows multiple items to be linked to a single Item Discount Group, making it applicable not only for sales purposes but also for purchasing needs. This could be beneficial for negotiating contracts with suppliers for a specific category of items, where a Line Discount may apply upon purchasing a certain quantity.

Has anyone in the community taken further steps regarding this matter?
