A common mistake occurs when users enter a discount as a negative value on a new line. It's important to understand that tasks or items with negative values can cause issues with proper functioning. To ensure accurate calculations and smooth handling of discounts, it's crucial to apply the discount in the designated "Discount" column (as shown in Fig. 1).
To make the "Discount" column visible, click on the "Enable discount" icon. It is available in ever budget section.
Fig. 1.
Then you can input an absolute or relative discount.
Discounts can also be applied to individual budget items, entire budget sections, or whole budget.
Important note: You can't apply an absolute discount value to the whole budget item. In that case, Allfred doesn’t know how to distribute it across all the services in the grey rows or by how much to reduce the value of each item in the project. That’s why it works at the budget item level only if you use a nominal value (in %), as Allfred can then reduce the price proportionally. However, if you want to apply an absolute value at the row level, that works perfectly fine.
