# Markdowns

> Apply temporary price reductions to products in the Solya POS Centrale, separate from the reference and store prices.

**Markdowns** are temporary price reductions on a product. Unlike a
[store price](/en/centrale/prix-magasin), which is a durable per-store override, a
markdown is a reduction applied on top of the effective price — the mechanism
behind clearance and sale pricing.

## What it is for

* Reduce the price of a product for a period, without changing its reference or
  store price.
* Keep clearance and sale pricing separate from master data, so it is easy to
  see, apply and remove.

## Key screens and actions

<Steps>
  <Step title="Browse markdowns">
    The markdown screen lists products and their current markdown state.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Apply a markdown">
    Set a markdown on a product; it takes effect on the price rung up at the till.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Remove a markdown">
    Clear the markdown to return the product to its non-marked-down price.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Note>
  The effective price a customer pays resolves the reference price, any
  [store override](/en/centrale/prix-magasin) and any active markdown. See also
  [promotions and coupons](/en/centrale/promotions-coupons) for rule-based and
  code-based discounts, which are a different mechanism.
