In adding/changing a Purchase Order the default value for Discount Factor (F4311.DSPR - Discount Factor) may be set as 1.
Discount Factor (DSPR) in Procurement is the factor that the system applies to the unit price of an inventory item to determine the net price. The Discount Factor value can be manually populated on the Purchase Order Detail line. Alternately, the system retrieves this value from the inventory pricing rules if you have assigned a rule to this item. The pricing rule setup determines if the system multiplies the unit price by this value or adds to or deducts from the unit price.
Discount factor is set to 1 when input discount and rule discount are false
1. Input discount is set to true when, if in Add Mode and Input Discount not zero and No Rule or Rule exists and Input Discount not equal to Rule Discount.

Input Discount is the input value populated by the user in the detail screen. If the user does not populate Input Discount it is considered as zero.
Rule discount is nothing but the Price Discount Rules created using the P4271 application. If both are false (not set), the discount factor is being set to '1'.
