Volume Discount Table

In order to calculate pricing a volume discount table is required. The entries in this table define the reduction in price based on the ordered quantity. When pricing is enabled and no volume discount table is defined, the system will not be able to calculate a price and price quote will be requested for the document.

In PrintShop Mail Web the volume discount table is managed either from a document's properties (see Setting up pricing) or through a price group (see Price Groups).

The Volume Discount Table defines the volume range and the price per record what applies. Please note that for database upload jobs the number of pages printed may differ from record to record due to conditional layouts. The pricing should be adjusted accordingly.
