## How to Configure Markdown Settings in Purchase Orders?
In this tutorial, we will learn how to apply **Markdown** in Purchase Orders using the Markdown configuration options available in Logic ERP. This feature allows the system to automatically calculate discounted purchase rates based on predefined markdown percentages.
***
### Objective of This Feature
* Automatically apply markdown percentages during PO entry.
* Calculate discounted purchase rates without manual intervention.
* Standardize supplier and item group-wise purchasing rates.
* Reduce pricing errors during purchase order creation.
* Support flexible markdown configurations based on business requirements.
***
### Access to Purchase Order Configuration
* Open the **Purchase Order Configuration** window.
* Navigate to the **Other Settings** section.
* Locate the option labeled as:
> **"Markdown Option".**
* This dropdown contains multiple methods for applying markdown during Purchase Order creation.
* By default, the option is set to: **None**
* This means no markdown is applied automatically.
***
## Option 1: Markdown % as Purchase TD in Company + Group Taxes
* Select: **Markdown % as Purchase TD in Company + Group Taxes**
* Save the configuration.
**Create a New Purchase Order**
* Initiate a New Purchase Order.
* Enter the Supplier and Item Details.
**Result**
The software automatically:
* Picks the Markdown Percentage.
* Calculates the discounted purchase rate.
* Updates the Rate column accordingly.
**Example**
Assume:
* Basic Rate = ₹1000
* Purchase TD (Markdown %) is predefined.
The system applies the markdown percentage to the basic rate and automatically calculates the discounted purchase rate, which is then reflected in the Rate column.
***
### Where is the Purchase TD Defined?
* Main Menu
* Setup Module
* Setup Taxes
* Open: **Setup Company + Group Wise Taxes**
**Action**
* Select the required Company.
* Select the required Item Group.
* Click **Refresh**.
**Result**
You can view the default **Purchase TD (Markdown Percentage)** defined for the selected Company and Item Group.
***
## Option 2: Supplier + Company + Group Wise Markdown
* Open Purchase Order Configuration.
* Select:
**Supplier + Company + Group Wise Markdown**
* Save the configuration.
**Create a New Purchase Order**
* Initiate a New PO.
* Select the Supplier.
* Enter Item Details.
**Result**
The software automatically:
* Picks the predefined markdown percentage.
* Calculates the discounted purchase rate.
* Updates the Item Rate accordingly.
***
### Where is Supplier + Company + Group Wise Markdown Defined?
* Main Menu
* Setup Module
* Party Wise Settings
* Open **Setup Supplier + Company + Group Item Wise Markdown for PO.**
**Action**
Define:
* Supplier
* Company
* Item Group
* Markdown Percentage
* Save the configuration.
**Result**
Whenever a Purchase Order is created using the defined Supplier, Company, and Item Group combination, the corresponding markdown percentage is automatically applied.
***
### Key Benefits
* Automatic purchase rate calculation.
* Eliminates manual markdown entry.
* Supports supplier-specific pricing policies.
* Improves purchasing accuracy.
* Ensures consistent rate calculations across transactions.
***
### Best Practice Tips
* Regularly review markdown percentages for suppliers and item groups.
* Verify Purchase TD values before processing large purchase orders.
* Use Supplier + Company + Group Wise Markdown for vendor-specific purchasing agreements.
* Ensure Company and Item Group mappings are correctly maintained.
***
### Final Outcome
The **Markdown Option** in Purchase Order Configuration allows Logic ERP to automatically apply predefined markdown percentages and calculate discounted purchase rates. Depending on the selected configuration, markdown values can be derived from **Company + Group Wise Taxes** or from **Supplier + Company + Group Wise Markdown Settings**, ensuring accurate and standardized purchasing rates throughout the system.
