To create a quantity-based discount:
The display of quantity discount information has only been implemented in e-Business for inventoried products and meeting products.

a. On the Product Maintenance screen, click Discount Maintenance from the Rates and Discounts task category.
b. From the toolbar, select Products > Rates, Discounts, Coupons > Discount Maintenance.
