Minimum margins can be used to give users a prompt if they define a discount or sales price that goes below the minimum discount percentage, as well as recommend the lowest allowable price.

Setting up minimum margins is a straightforward process. Simply open an inventory item and type the margin that must be exceeded for each order detail line in the “Minimum Margin” field in the “Pricing” group.

If a user manually types in a sales price or discount that results in a net price with less than the specified discount, a warning will show. The warning will suggest a discount or sales price, depending on which field was edited.

Note: This prompt will not show if the discount is set to 100%. Additionally, this control only affects manually entered discounts or sales prices, not price levels, category discounts, special prices, etc.
