# How to import discount structure changes

KB570.htm

## Overview

Within Accentis Enterprise, you can use discount structures to automatically change the prices on your sales records. These can be added and modified from the Discount structure form.

If you need to modify a large number of discount structures, you can export your discount structures, make any necessary changes, and re-import them to update your data in bulk.

## Exporting and modifying your existing discount structures

1. Navigate to Accounts receivable > Setup > Discount structures….
2. On the Discount structure form, navigate to the Special menu and select Export complete discount structure.

1. Save the file in an easily accessible location and with an easily identifiable name.
   1. If you have done this process previously, you can select an existing file to overwrite its data.
2. Navigate to your exported file and select Open.
   1. The file will be in .csv format, which can be opened in Excel.
3. Make any necessary changes to the file and save it.
   1. You may want to make note of some of the changes so you can confirm them once you have re-imported the file.
   2. Please note that importing discount structures using this method will only add new or modify existing discount structures. Removing discount structures from your exported file won’t delete them from your system.

## Importing your modified discount structures

We recommend you perform this process in your TEST database first to confirm there are no issues before performing in your LIVE database.

2. Review your new discount structures and confirm the new details are correct.
   1. If you are performing this in your TEST database, you can also create a new sales order to confirm the discount structures work in practice.
