Which discount method does Supply Chain Management use to apply only the better of calculated line and multiline discounts?

In Supply Chain Management within Dynamics 365, the discount method that applies only the better of calculated line and multiline discounts is known as MAX (Line, Multiline). This approach determines which discount—whether it is the singular line discount or the multiline discount that encompasses multiple items or lines—offers the greatest benefit to the customer.

By selecting the maximum discount, the system ensures that customers receive the best possible deal, enhancing satisfaction and encouraging repeat business. This discount method is particularly useful in environments where products may qualify for different discount structures, and maintaining clarity and competitiveness in pricing is crucial.

The other discount methods, such as MIN (Line, Multiline), would apply the lesser discount, which wouldn’t serve the customer’s best interests. Similarly, options that simply combine or list discounts would not accurately reflect the goal of maximizing the savings, leading to less favorable outcomes for the buyer. Therefore, using MAX (Line, Multiline) correctly prioritizes customer value by harnessing the best applicable discount.
