A Discount is a deduction from the usual cost of something. Reducing the price of a product to accelerate sales is an established strategy used in every sphere of sales. Appropriate discount pricing strategies with limited price drop for buyers who respond quickly drive-up sales and pitch the product as something that will only be accessible for a short time.

Discounts v/s Promotions
The major difference between the Discounts and Sales Promotions is that in case of discount you will need to provide it manually on the bill or maybe on the item; whereas, in case of sales promotion, it is automatically considered while saving the bill when the item is existing in the promotion. In GINESYS, the Sales Promotion is decided by the Head-Office and is flown from there to the stores, no changes can be made, whereas in Discounts, it flows from Head-Office again but discount can be provided on the need basis.
