Creating or Modifying Vendor Program Limits
Once a vendor program has been added, you can define the program's limits. Each vendor program can have up to 5 limits. For example, suppose the vendor program offered a 1% discount for ordering 100 parts, a 5% discount for ordering 1,000 parts, and a 10% discount for ordering 5,000 parts. In this case, you would enter 3 cost limits: 100, 1,000, and 5,000.

There is no way to reorder limits. Therefore, when you enter limits, enter them in order from least to greatest.
