We have some items that we do not want sales reps to be able to discount. The items are setup without referencing any discounts but Reps can sill create sales orders and put a % in the Discount Field on the sales line.
According to the documentation, MS seems to indicate that by not having any discount lists or price lists setup, that it should prevent discounts. But it still allows the user to put a discount on the sales line. I also tried setting a price list up and specifying the price to the customer and leaving the discount fields empty as it suggests in the documentation, but they are still able to use the discount field on the sales order.
Does anyone have a solution for this - I don't care if they see the discount field or anything. The verbiage in Business Central is confusing because they have a flag that says "allow line discounts" but what that actually does when turned on is show the discount % between the price defined on the item master and the price defined in the price list. When turned off, all this does is not calculate the discount % automatically. It doesn't prevent anything.
Any assistance would be appreciated. If this cannot be done without extensions - then I think its a major failure on MS part to protect profits and restrict user capabilities.
