### Open Purchase Defaults Setup
To begin:

### Configure Discounts & Charges

### Understand CD Type Options
* Let’s configure **CD = 10%**.
**You will see two important options:**
#### **Option 1: Ignore Zero**
* The defined discount (**10% CD**) will:
* Automatically apply in purchase bills
* Based on defined criteria
**Verify Discount in Purchase Entry**
* Go to **Purchase Voucher Window**.
* Create a **New Entry**.
* Enter an item from the selected **Item Group** (e.g., Shirts).
**Result: 10% CD is automatically applied** in the bill.
#### Option 2 Use Zero”
* Now let’s understand the **Use Zero** option.
* Go back to the **"Branch + Item Group Wise Defaults – Purchase"** option.
* Open the **Entry Mode**.
* From the filter at the top, select the configuration that we defined earlier.
* Here, you will find the option **"Ignore Zero"**.
* Change this setting from **"Ignore Zero"** to **"Use Zero"**.
**Configuration:**
* Set **CD = 0**
* Select **CD Type = Use Zero**
**What “Use Zero” Means:**
* No discount will be applied
* Overrides all higher-level discounts
Even if discounts are defined at:
* Branch + Party Level
* Party + Company Level
They will **NOT be applied**
***
### Implement Overwrite Behavior
