How to enter the discount on bill correctly? There are several ways to go through them.
The condition for applying discounts is the recipes, checkbox - active option in the Recipes Detail- Discountable. The discount can be applied only once in the system (with the exception of applying the Modifier), the discount from the discount is not allowed. Applying discounts is possible via ePOS.
Types of discounts in Vento:

2. Discount from the recipes using the price level
Main menu tab Settings - Price levels

Filtering of sold recipes is possible according to the time period of the day in the tab Main menu Reportings - Selling overview - in the filter conditions Select time period of the day.
If we want to be able to combine price level discounts , e.g. with a payment discount, with a discount with a modifier, it is necessary to check the "Discountable" line when setting price levels. In case this is not active it will not be possible to apply a discount other than using price levels.
3. Discount from the recipes using the settings of permanent / employee accounts

5. Modification of recipes with price adjustment
Main menu tab : Recipes - Modifiers
The created modifier must be inserted into the screen, the screen template is most often used. For the purposes of the discount, the modifier is used very rarely, it is more of an alternative, if none of the previous types suits the customer.
The recipes can be modified by adding the absolute price or multiplying (0.1 represents 10% of the price; 0.5 represents 50% of the price)
The modifier is applied by selecting the recipes and then clicking on the modifier in the ePOS screen. The most common use in terms of discount is to use the Modifier Correction (multiply the price -1, quantity -1) for cases where it is necessary to modify the account locked in the closing and create a corrective receipt.
Filtering sales by recipes with the applied modifier is possible Reportings - Selling overview - section Filtering recipes Modifier.
