Markup and Discount Functionality (e.g., Rush Fees)
Requires configuration by the LiftERP Support Team

> A. Customer-Level Invoice Discounts
- Supports discounts based on a customer-defined invoice discount percentage.
- Discount percentage is maintained at the customer level and automatically applied to invoices.
- Optional display of discount amounts on the order review screen (configured by LiftERP Support upon request).
- Configuration path: Customer Management → Advanced Settings → Invoice Settings → Invoice Discount %

> B. Fee and Discount Rules Based on Custom Flex Fields
- Order-level flex field selections (e.g., 6-hour rush, 12-hour rush) can automatically trigger fees or discounts.

Example: If ship date minus approval date is less than one day, a rule can set flex field values or flags that apply rush fees or discounts.
