# About On the Fly Discounting

***"On the Fly Discounting"*** is a discount that is non-automatic. This discount is not associated with a plan or promotion and can be assigned specific discounting privileges, specifically amount restrictions when a user is created.

In the event that a sale requires a greater discount amount than what can be entered by the user (or Register Policy settings), the override will allow for another user to login and perform the task.

Currently, a user can be restricted from applying On the Fly Discounts by:

1. User permissions (regulates right-click discount)
2. Register Policy-Discount Policy (results in error message when discount amount is greater than the policy)

> [!NOTE]
> Note:
> 
> A Manager Override is required to permit the application of a discount for both scenarios.
