To add a Discount-in-Kind you have to open the "Plan Item Form" either by right-clicking on an existing plan item and opening the edit. Or directly when creating a new proposal.

Add all your relevant information now if you are creating a new proposal.

Finally, navigate to the "Discounts and net cost" section.

Here you will see the 'Add Discount-in-Kind' form. Click on the 'Add Discount-in-Kind' button to create a new Discount-in-Kind.

Set a value and select the 'Value' type. Available options are:

- **Volume**, based on pricing model
- **Percentage**, based on volume or costs

If you have entered a cost or percentage value, select the cost base to which it relates (gross to N/N/N). 

If you want the percentage value to refer to the invoice-relevant volume, or if you have entered a volume value, select 'Volume' as the base.
