What are discount codes?
These are industry-specific codes that suppliers use to identify list price
versus net cost discounts on their products.
Where can I find discount codes?
Generally, codes can be found directly following a retail price, in or around the
pricing grid, or within the F.O.B. (Freight On Board) section of the catalog page.
You may receive catalogs from our e-flyers or campain. These catalogs often include
retail pricing and will be coded. If you receive an uncoded catalog, the pricing
listed may be net pricing. Contact the supplier before showing it to a customer.
What do the numbers before the discount code letters mean?
These numbers indicate how many price break quantities are set for that
discount. For example, if you see (6R), there are six price break quantities and all
are set for a discount of R.
If you see a combination of letters and numbers – for example: 2P2Q – the first
two columns are on a P discount and the next two are on a Q, for a total of four
columns. For 2P2QR, there are five columns of pricing: The first two columns of
pricing are on a “P,” the next two are on a “Q,” and the last column is on an “R.”

How do I know what discount I am getting from products in
the end-buyer catalogs?
Reference the discount code sheet provided by your catalog sales rep or by
looking the product up in distributor system.
