- role-based control allows you to define which members of staff are allowed to apply discounts
- view a list of registered discounts
- add new discounts
- edit existing discounts

View a list of Discounts
In the left pane of Back Office Management ( BOM ), expand the Marketing node and then select Discounts
**insert image here**
- Name : What you have called this Discount scheme
- Type : You can create a Percentage Discount or a Cash Discount
- Value : This will be either $ or %
- Active: makes the selected discount active and therefore can no longer be chosen on the POS APP – I do NOT like deleting things – making it inactive is preferable
Add New Discounts
In the Discounts list, click Add
This opens the add discount form …
