Wish #6017 - EXEMPT parts from Fast Pay discount

Another jobber raised this question on the CARQUEST Message Board - please add this as wish # 6017 - ability to select parts to EXEMPT for fast pay discounts. Please read thru the ORIGINAL request from Dec 20 2004.

If-when jobbers allow customers to take a 2% fast pay discount --there should be a way to FLAG parts as NON-DISCOUNTABLE to omit these parts from any further discount. Parts as Anti-FREEZE or SOURCED OEM parts could fit --and this flag is set in the part number data base and/or the PN Code set-up

Your comments are appreciated --- this is a fairly obvious suggestion - and you can see that ALL the heavy weights - like Chandler were CC's - all to be forgotten and or ignored... mayeb it is time we LOOKED at the process of innovation in Exploris.

PS -this original request pre-dated my use of Wish #'s ( wish # in 2005 thru 2008 started with a 5 - wish #'s in 2009-2010 start with a 6 )

Subject: Calculating fast pay discounts - more questions

Hello Terri

Rick mentioned he was forwarding a previous question I sent today -- part of my e-mail had to do with fast pay discounts and the somewhat 'clunky' way they forced the counterman to re-calculate them so a payment could be entered ... Hmm ...more questions on the whole idea of fast pay discounts ...

On an older system we had ( Uni-Select-Progeciels-Sim--aka some derivative from Tennessee 1984-1996 ) we had an option to make that sale as "Discountable" or "Non-Discountable" --so things like :
Bulk Oil
Anti-freeze
any Buy-Out or
Special Quoted Equipment like hoists could be made NET of any further
fast pay discounts

Perhaps we could take that one step further (well - I do like to push until things break or tempers flair.. ... And set a code in the product file as discountable/ non-discountable and pre-select unique items like Anti-freeze
or 10-30 oil or ... As NON-DISCOUNTABLE. Then how could we set Buy-outs as non-discountable ( XBO line code ?? )
 On the statement these sales needs to be flagged - we had a column with an asterisk for any sale as Non Discountable?
 The POS Invoice would need a confirmation to keep as Non_Discountable?
 Might this idea have any merit?
