remise v.réduction v. d'escompte

français vers anglais Affaires / Finance Vente au détail
"Dans le cadre d'une transaction de vente, le ticket devra présenter les montants d'achats avec remise et réduction pour tous les types d'escomptes."

I think réduction and escompte are obvious (reduction and discount) but then how is remise different? It's not really a rebate and not really a refund. Is it a credit? I'm confused about how to make the distinction.

Deborah Workman (asker) Nov 14, 2007:
In case this helps to narrow the focus (or not!), the document also says, "La réduction doit être déduite avant l'escompte" and "Saisie en caisse des réductions (remises).

agree Simon Charass : Yes. The “reduction” and “escompte” refer to the discount (pour tous les types d'escomptes).

allowance, reduction, discount

I've also seen "remise" translated as "allowance" (in the sense of reducing the total cost of a purchase), which should give you some additional word variation. It reads like a catch-all, so this should work.

"...the sales receipt must show the total purchase amount with allowance and reduction for all types of discounts" (just one possible example)

definitions - NFG

From the Dictionnaire Commercial du Conseil international de la langue française.

escompte
discount
1. Opération par laquelle un traite est payée ...
2. Somme que la banque retient ...
3. Déduction accordée sur le montant d'une facture pour paiement anticipé ou paiement comptant (escompte de caisse)

remise
1. discount
2. reduction
3. cancellation
1. Marge commerciale EN POURCENTAGE consentie par un fournisseur à un grossiste ou à un détaillant, et calculée soit sur le prix de vente au client final (prix imposé ou prix conseillé), soit sur un prix intermédiaire.
2. Réduction sur le prix d'un bine ou d'un service. Syn. Rabais.
3. Action de dispenser de qqchose ...

So according to that it would indeed have to be something like "discount RATE" and "discount AMOUNT" since we don't appear to have separate individual words for these things.
