L4E Discount Approval & Total Discount Management
All-in-one discount governance: salesperson global & line limits, tiered approval workflows, and total amount discount auto-distribution for Sales, Purchases, and Invoices.
Protect Your Sales Margin and Automate Discount Controls
In standard Odoo, sales representatives have the freedom to input any discount value on line items. Without strict guardrails, organizations frequently suffer from margin erosion due to excessive discounts, inconsistent pricing structures, and lack of management oversight. Manually auditing every quotation is tedious and slows down sales velocity. Furthermore, applying a single discount across a large multi-line order forces users to calculate and update each line manually, wasting valuable time and risking computation errors.
L4E Discount Approval & Total Discount Management solves these challenges by combining strict salesperson discount limits, tiered multi-level approval workflows, and automated total discount distribution. If a salesperson exceeds their allowed limit, the order confirmation or invoice posting is automatically blocked and routed to the correct managers based on the discount percentage. Meanwhile, the total discount tools allow users to apply a discount on the entire document (Sales Order, Purchase Order, or Invoice) and automatically distribute it proportionally to all lines in a single click.
