Summary

0028878: "Basic discounts" functionality needs to be reviewed

Description

Currently, basic discounts are managed as products, defined as non-stocked items. Due to that, there are some limitations, such as:

- they need to be delivered in order to not appear as pending products. (This is solved with https://issues.openbravo.com/view.php?id=23190 [^])
- in case of partial invoicing, it is difficult to properly manage correspondent partial discount's amount

More robust way to manage this king of situations needs to be evaluated and implemented, as a basic discount functionality refactor

Steps To Reproduce

Proposed Solution

A good approach will be to develop this kind of discounts as a new discount and promotion type: http://wiki.openbravo.com/wiki/How_to_implement_a_new_Discount_and_Promotion_Type [^]

There is a module created for retail [1] but it is not supported in the backoffice, which applies to the total amount.
