Applying and Editing Discounts on Contract Lines

You can apply a discount to a contract line item that belongs to a draft contract. You can also edit and delete existing discounts applied to contract lines that belong to a draft contract.

Discounts are automatically included in values and totals of a contract on the enhanced Contract Detail page. If using the Salesforce Contract Detail page, you must calculate the total contract value manually after applying discounts. See Calculating Contract Values. When you apply or edit a discount on a contract line item, these fields are updated:

Sales Price
Total Contract Line Value

You can add or remove discounts on an active contract by creating a change request.
You cannot add or remove discounts on expired or superseded contracts.
On the enhanced Contract Detail page you can only apply discounts that have the same currency as the contract. On the Salesforce Contract Detail page you can attach a discount regardless of its currency.
If a discount would make the Sales Price negative, it is set to zero instead.
