Use Case: % Discount and % Discount Off Base

You can apply a % discount on the base price where CPQ applies the % discount on the unit price of the product after applying the auto-adjustments from price matrices, price rules, and promotions. If currency rounding after each step is enabled, CPQ rounds off the adjustment and applies on the unit price before calculating the new net price.
