Rabattbildend and Rabattnehmend

Thanks! I think that makes a lot of sense and clearly distinguishes between the two types of discount. I'll go with it unless something else comes up.

... it looks as though "rabattbildend" means "counts towards discount volumes" or "builds discount volumes". The other term you usually see together with "rabattbildend" is "rabattfähig" (qualifies for discounts), so it's conceivable that "rabattnehmend" is a synonym for "rabattfähig".

Die *[company]* Umsätze von *[magazine]* sind rabattnehmend und rabattbildend. Sämtliche übrigen ** Umsätze aus anderen Titeln sind lediglich rabattnehmend, nicht aber rabattbildend.

I was also thinking along the lines of "count towards" the volume/commitment, so I think you might be on to something there.

Here's some context:

"Das gebuchte digitale Bruttovolumen wirkt rabattbildend für die printvereinbarung, aber nicht rabattnehmend."

"Das gebuchte Printbruttovolumen wirkt rabattbildend für die Digitalvereinbarung, aber nicht rabattnehmend."

The terms come up quite a lot, but are never really explained in any depth, so I'm not sure how helpful this will be.

Could we have the context, please?
I'm afraid I don't find the client's explanation very easy to understand :-) "Rabattbildend" sounds like it might mean "counts towards discount".
