Discounts

discounts the nue cpq pricing engine supports a three layer discount model that gives you precise control over how discounts are applied across a quote discounts can be set at the header level, the parent/bundle level, or the individual line item level, and they follow deterministic override rules so you always know which discount wins use this guide when you need to apply discretionary discounts to new quotes whether a blanket percentage across all lines, targeted discounts on specific products, dollar amount discounts, or combinations of these discount layers layer field location applies to override behavior header discount discount or discountamount on the quote root all line items that do not have their own discount lowest priority; overridden by bundle or product level discounts bundle/parent discount discount or discountamount on a bundle product all children of that bundle (unless child has its own) middle priority; overrides header, overridden by child level line level discount discount or discountamount on a product entry that specific line item only highest priority; overrides header and parent discounts key rules percentage takes priority over amount if both discount (percentage) and discountamount are provided on the same object, the percentage value is used and the amount is ignored product level discount overrides header discount a line item with its own discount or discountamount will not receive the header level discount bundle discount propagates to children a discount on a bundle parent flows down to all child add ons unless the child specifies its own discount header discountamount is distributed proportionally the fixed dollar amount is allocated across eligible lines based on each line's share of the total list amount bundled items with a $0 list price are not discountable discounts are skipped for zero price children non discountable products generate a warning if a product is configured as non discountable in the catalog, the system issues a warning and skips the discount for that line pricing calculation order resolve the list unit price from the price book entry (or price tag) apply price tags (pricedimension) to determine the effective unit price apply discount tags (discountdimension) if present apply discretionary discounts (this guide) header, bundle, or line level calculate the final totalprice for each line warning codes warning code meaning product discount overrides header a product level discount was found, so the header discount was not applied to that line product discount applied a product level discount was successfully applied header discount applied the header discount was applied to a line that had no product level override product not discountable the product is configured as non discountable; the discount was skipped authentication setup all examples below use the following headers const myheaders = new headers(); myheaders append("nue api key", "your api key here"); myheaders append("content type", "application/json"); use case 1 header level percentage discount apply a 10% discount to every line item in the quote by setting discount on the quote root the discount propagates to all lines that do not have their own product level discount const quotedata = { opportunityid "006xx000001abc123", name "q1 enterprise license — 10% header discount", subscriptionstartdate "2025 01 01", subscriptionenddate "2026 01 01", subscriptiontermdimension "month", subscriptionterm 12, discount 10, products \[ { productsku "platform base", uom "user/month", quantity 50 }, { productsku "analytics addon", uom "user/month", quantity 50 } ] };
