Line Discount query in Ax 4.0

[mohta...@gmail.com]

Hi All,

Need your opinion on the following query regarding line discount.

The line discount for an item is only applicable for a single line
entered in SO/PO. However for staggered deliveries the line discount
doesn't become available.

Example:
Line discount is setup in trade agreement for item:B-R14 for qty:100
for all customers for open time frame (no from and to dates). Also in
Accounts receivable and payable the price discount setup is enabled
for line discount for all customers.

For SO:
Line1 for item: B-R14 qty: 50 delivery date: 2/2/7
Line2 for item: B-R14 qty: 50 delivery date: 2/3/7
In this case the line discount is not populated.

According to my analysis, blanket orders could had been used wherein
the order could have been entered in a single line and the line
discount could had been populated properly but then the MRP would go
wrong as blanket ordered are not in MRP.

Also multi line discounts could be used but then it would require
them to be calculated manually on the order lines and which would then
make line discounts obsolete.

Does anyone came across such a situation and if yes then how it was
handled; If no then what could be done to handle such a situation?

Looking forward for your responses.
