You can define order line discounts, by supplier/item line, to be considered in calculating optimum purchase review cycles. These discounts are only used in the purchase review time simulation, and have no impact on actual purchase suggestions, purchase orders, prices, or discount calculations. All discounts are considered at the total order level, not on item level.
