I assumed it would update the order discounts amount for the order total when editing orders, can't seem to get it to work.

I think if a percentage is entered in that box, it should be used to calculate the discount applied. If nothing is entered, the discount that is entered for "Discounts:" should be used as is. I'll take a look tomorrow. Vince Click Here for Shopping Cart Software Click Here to sign up for our newsletter Click Here for the latest updater
Vince Administrator 42874 Posts	Posted - 12/20/2019 : 00:15:02 Hi Mark After some more investigation with a clear head this morning I see how this works now. If a wholesale customer has a Percentage Discount then that discount is entered here and any new order lines you add while editing the order will have the price reduced by that percentage.

It sounds to me like it's just informational and while it's useful to see the customer has a percentage discount, I think the confusion stems from an input there that doesn't seem to do anything. Maybe that needs to be changed from an input to just an output... Edited by - dbdave on 12/20/2019 07:42:19
Vince Administrator 42874 Posts	Posted - 12/20/2019 : 10:11:36 Hi Dave But it does do something . . . really. If the customer has a percentage discount when you add new order lines, this percentage is applied. Or try just entering say 10 (for 10%) in that then add a new line to the order. When you click the "..." to get the details for the line item from the server the discount will be applied.

I edit an order, remove an item (Zero Out) hit recalculate, updates everything Except the Discount line, I need to manually edit the discount line to get the total correct.. It would be nice if entering a discount amount in that box and updating would correctly calculate the discount line. Mark Mark Responsive Design Deals Ecomm Plus - ASP 6.8 www.paradiseclothingco.com
