Examples for Discount Calculations
- Combined discount with different discount levels:
- Example: 4% cash discount and 1.5% invoice discount plus 3% central purchasing discount
- Formula:
(1-((1-0.04)\*(1-(0.0015+0.03))) = 5.09%
- Sum discount at the same level:
- Example: 2% logistics discount and 1.5% invoice discount, which apply to the same level (initial price)
- Formula:
0.02+0.015 = 3.5%
The correct calculation and representation of discounts is important for the acceptance of invoices by your trading partners.
