How to Create Discount Codes

CounterPoint SQL allows authorized users to enter Point of Sale document and line-item discounts in Point of Sale. User-entered document and line-item discounts are indicated on receipts, included on all relevant reports, and reflected in the corresponding accounting distributions for discounted tickets and items.

Defining Discount Codes

Select SETUP>POINT OF SALE>DISCOUNT CODES

Discount Type	Amount	Select this option to define a discount code for a fixed amount (i.e., the discount amount cannot be changed).

Min Qualifying Amt	Enter the minimum amount of purchase to make the item or document eligible for the discount

Items that are ineligible for discounts do not contribute to the Min. qualifying amt. for a document discount and you cannot apply line-item discounts to non-discountable items.

You cannot apply more than one line discount to an individual line or more than one document discount to an entire ticket. However, an item can receive an item discount and ticket discount.

Line-item discounts are always applied first, followed by document discounts.

When you print a receipt for a ticket that includes discounts, each line-item discount appears directly below the corresponding line and the applicable ticket discount appears after all lines, above the Subtotal amount. In addition, a discount summary appears at the bottom of the receipt to indicate the total amount of all discounts on the ticket (i.e., “You saved $14.50”)
