Stock Item 'discounts' for a 'limited time frame' (Not just a lower price from a Price Band)

I believe there is currently a limitation within the Sage 200 system in being able to discount items for a limited time, requiring the customer to manually enter a discount for each and every item, rather than by product group.

Yes, Limited Price Bands provide a date/time limited range function for restricting the period of time using a Promotional Price-List but this simply shows a lower value/price on documentation rather than recognising the discounted value and the discount allowed/given in reducing the original price to the customer and recognising this through nominal postings to discount nominal codes.

If we think about Black Friday deals for example, there will be many companies giving 'discounts' (not just a lower price) on specific Product Groups for that limited period of time (typically days or a week in this case) so you would expect Sage200 to have a solution for this. As it stands S200 customers have to manually enter discounts for each and every item (and then remove them all in a weeks time).
