To create a Discount please, follow these steps:

1. Navigate to General > Discounts.
2. Click 'Add new discount'.
3. Provide a name for your new Discount.
4. Select the 'Amount' or 'Percent' value type.
5. If you select 'Percent discount' for the value type, enter the percentage rate. If choose 'Amount discount', enter the specific amount.
6. Select the 'All items' or 'Selected items' discount type.

When the 'All items' Discount is applied, all Articles in the order will be discounted according to the values set for this Discount in the Back Office. If the 'Selected items' Discount is used, only the selected Article will receive the Discount.

{% hint style="warning" %}
**Note:** The 'Selected Items' type assumes that to apply a Discount, the POS User should first tap on the specific Article and then use the Discount.
{% endhint %}

7. In the 'Availability' field, select whether this Discount will always be available or only during specific periods. If you opt for a specific duration for the Discount, specify the Period.

{% hint style="info" %}
For more information on how to create various Periods, [refer to this page](../periods/manage-periods).
{% endhint %}

8. In the 'Applies to' field, select whether this Discount is assigned to all items or only to specific Department, Group, or Category.

Only items included in this selection can be discounted in the POS. Alternatively, you can select the option for the Discount to apply to all items.

9. Assign a fixed text Reason or choose 'Ask reason' option.

{% hint style="warning" %}
**Note:** If you want to avoid constantly selecting a Reason in the POS while applying Discounts, you can set fixed text Reason or 'Ask reason' and assign the preconfigured Reason to this. Conversely, if you want the POS Users to indicate the relevant Reason for the Discount, you can select the 'Ask reason' option and do not specify the preconfigured Reason.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="info" %}
For more information about fixed text Reasons, [refer to this page.](../reason/automatic-reason)
{% endhint %}

10. Click 'Save'.
