# Why can't I apply a discount in POS?

## If the system is not allowing you to add a discount to an item, this is an indicator to check the Activity/Product Configuration.

The Activity/Product screens allow us to select if they are applicable for discounts or not. 

 

To locate this setting for an Activity, navigate to the Configuration Module \> Business Level of Configuration \> Activity Level of Configuration \> Search for Activity \> Select "edit" \> Locate the "Apply Discount" checkbox \> make sure it's selected \> select "Save"

To locate this setting for a Product, navigate to the Configuration Module \> Business Level of Configuration \> Product Level of Configuration \> Search for Product \> Select "edit" \> Locate the "Apply Discount" checkbox \> make sure it's selected \> select "Save"
