The discount only works with products or departments flagged with either Product Category A, B or both (which will show up as Category C on the receipt and Retail Back End tasks), and a customer set up to receive a discount.  When the cashier keys in the Customer ID the discount is calculated and displayed on the screen.  For example: The customer is set up to receive a discount using discount table 1. Discount one is set up for all Category A products at 5% for everyday of the week. When the customer purchases a product (flagged in the products file as category A) and also purchases a product rung up to an open department (also flagged as category A); as the cashier keys in the customer number the customer will automatically receive a 5% discount for both of the items purchased.

Note: Retail allows for up to ten discounts to be created.
