How Is Transaction Level Discount (i.e. Slab Discount) Handled In Rtlog File In Retail Sales Audit (resa)? |
|
Answer» If you have a scenario at Point Of Sale (POS) where in you give a discount of 100 at a Total Bill of 1000. This discount does not apply to any item but is at a Bill level. Retail Merchandising System (RMS) does not supports bill/transaction level discounts, RTLOG file will not have a transaction-level discount (TDISC) record, so POS system should be sent item-level discount. But that does not mean ReSA only handles item-level discounts (IDISC). The slab discounts or bill/transaction level discounts are in fact apportioned amongst all the items in that bill in proportion to their prices & units sold. If you have a scenario at POS where in you give a discount of 100 at a Total Bill of 1000. And it has two items priced differently then the transaction-level discount will be divided amongst these two items in accordance to their individual PRICE & sold units :- Item Price Quantity Discount Item A 400 1 40 Item B 100 6 60 ALSO for Slab discounts, there MAY be a coupon or a pamphlet to describe this discount based on slabs. If there is a voucher or coupon involved then the Transaction records should have an additional TTEND record to DENOTE the discounts obtained by those coupons or VOUCHERS for a particular transaction.
