# How to setup Discount Authorisation

In Clinicea you can set a threshold value which limits the discount a Staff Member can give on a bill item. Any discount above the threshold value will be auto-sent for Approval. Approvals can be given by the person who has been given the authority to decide on such matters. Let us see how to activate **Discount Authorisation**.

**STEP I**: Switch on the preference that requires Authorisation to come into effect for discounted above a certain threshold.

1.  Go to **Tools | Organization.**
    
2.  Select your **Organization** to open it.
    
3.  Open **Preferences | Financial.**
    
4.  Switch on **Stock Voucher needs Authorisation** and enter a threshold discount value in the box just below it.

**STEP II:** Give the concerned person who will be approving the discount, Permission for **Discount Authorisation**.

1.  Go to **Tools | Permissions.**
    
2.  Select the **Role** of the concerned person in **Point 1.**
    
3.  Then in **Point 2**, under Finance and Inventory tick the **Discount Authorisations** check box.

That is it. Now any discount on a bill item which is above the percentage set will have to go for approval under **Financials | More Options | Authorisation.** It can be then approved by the Staff who has been given the above permission.
