This segment is used to specify any allowances or charges which are applicable to the current line item.

Allowances and/or Charges specified in the ALC segment are only for information purposes if a net price has been specified in DE 5152 of the PRI segment. If a gross price has been specified in DE 5152 of PRI, then the Allowances and/or Charges specified can be used in future transactions, e.g., Orders and Invoices, to calculate the net price.

DE 1227: The calculation sequence indicator is used when multiple allowances and/or charges are applicable. If various allowances and/or charges percentages, quantities, monetary amounts or rates are applicable to the same base price, then the calculation sequence indicator will always equal one. If the various allowances and/or charges are applied against a fluctuating price (constantly changing because of the application of other allowances and/or charges) then the sequence of calculation is indicated using this data element. When multiple allowances and/or charges are being used a separate occurrence of segment group 36 should be used for each type, i.e., MOA, PCD, etc.

Example :

ALC+A+++1'

Dependency Notes :

DE 1227: If the allowance or charge is not to be applied against a fixed price then the calculation sequence indicator must be included.

DE C214: This composite is only included if the supplier knows the type of allowance or charge.

DE 3055: This data element is only used if the coded value 'DAE' is used in data element 7161.
