A Total Order Discount is a discount that is given as a percentage of the Subtotal on the order, rather than as a percentage of the price of each product on the order. You can also manually enter the amount of the discount, instead of calculating it as a percent.
This type of a discount requires a Miscellaneous Charge, which should be set up by an administrator at your company. For instructions on creating a Miscellaneous Charge, see the Create a Miscellaneous Charge page.
For instructions on discounting the price of individual products, see the Discount a Product page.
