I think we practiced a similar question where we had to configure discounts based on account types. It might be option B, but I can't recall the details.

I remember something about setting up discount rules based on lookup fields, but I'm not sure if it's option A or B that applies here.

I'm feeling pretty confident about this one. The key is making sure the Distributor Discount is applied correctly based on the Discount_Level__c field. I'll review the options, but I think Option B is the right solution.

This seems straightforward enough. I think Option B is the way to go - set up a formula field to calculate the discount based on the Discount_Level__c field. I'll just confirm the details to be certain.

I thought connecting to Citrix ADM required an instance, but that could just be another term they used in that context.

I'm pretty sure the cumulative effect of an inventory pricing change impacts how we report prior years' earnings, but I can't remember if it goes in retained earnings or just the current year.

That makes sense. It ensures that distributors still receive a discount even if their Discount_Level__c field is not filled out.
