***
### Open Defaults Setup
**To Begin:**
* Go to the **Setup Module** from the Main Menu

* This window allows you to define **Purchase-Level Defaults for Specific Combinations**.
***

* Defaults will apply only to this specific combination.
***
### Define Discount & Defaults

**CD Type Options:**
* **Ignore Zero**
* Applies defined discount automatically
* System considers the entered value during purchase
**Save & Review**

* Use **Entry Mode** to review saved configurations
***
### Verify in Purchase Entry
* Open the **Purchase Entry Window**
* Select the **Supplier**
* Enter Bill Details
* Add items
**Observation:**

* When items from the **configured item group** are added:
* Discount is automatically applied
* Enable **Group Columns (Set Attributes List)** to verify item group behavior.
***
### Understanding "Use Zero" Option
Now let’s explore the advanced control:
* Go back to the setup window
* **Select:**
* Branch
* Supplier
* Item Group
* **Set:**
* CD % = 0
* CD Type = Use Zero
***
### What Does "Use Zero" Do?
* Acts as an **Exclusion Flag**
* **Ensures:**
* No discount is applied
* Overwrite all higher-level configurations **Even if discounts exist in** Branch + Supplier Wise, Party Wise, Branch + Item Group Wise.
***
### Validation Example
* Define a discount in:
* **Branch + Item Group Wise Defaults (Purchase)**
* Now create a new purchase entry for the same supplier
**Result:**
* No discount is applied
* "Use Zero" takes priority and restricts all discounts
***
### How This Feature Works
* Applies **default discounts automatically**
* Uses Hierarchy:
* Lower-level settings can override higher-level ones
* **Use Zero** acts as a strict override control
***
## Key Benefits
