FoodLink 6.0 and Volume Discounts

Overview

FoodLink allows you to enter your group’s Volume Discount, and to pass along all or part of the discount to the members. With the new higher volume discounts beginning August 3rd, you can easily pass the savings along to your members.

Note that Volume Discounts are based on your average order size, rather than the size of each order, so they don’t change from month to month.


FoodLink Volume Discount Settings

Go to: Setup Menu/ Add/Update Distributor Screen

Buying Club Volume Discount: [enter your volume discount]
Amount of discount passed on to members: [enter all or part of the Buying Club Volume Discount]

For example: your group's Volume Discount is 6%, and 5% is passed along to members (1% is retained to cover expenses); your FoodLink 6.0 settings will look like this
Buying Club Volume Discount: 6.00
Amount of discount passed on to members: 5.00

Where you see it

On the Group Order screen the Volume Discount shows as a lump sum at the bottom of the screen.

On the Member Invoices Volume Discount shows as a discount amount on each line item for non-sale items rather than as a total at the bottom.
