Discount percent precision change
Feature ID

PAY-6341

Feature Description

The discount calculation algorithm has been changed to match that of SAP. Now, Ariba network uses a discount percent with a precision of 3 decimal places to calculate the discount amount in discount offers. Ariba Network also passes DiscountPercent, determined by the discounting capability, in the cXML PaymentProposalRequest update (cXML 1.2.051) to the ERP of buyers.

Customer Problem

The early payment discount percent in SAP and Ariba Network rarely match. This difference may cause confusion in a tax audit.
SAP supports up to 3 decimals when specifying a discount percent where as Ariba Network supports full database precision.
The Cloud Integration Gateway recalculates the discount percent using discount amount, discount basis, and gross amount.

Customer Value Proposition

Discount percent always matches in Ariba Network and SAP. This reduces the risk of confusion during a tax audit.
