In Winner, some catalogue suppliers use a Block calculation to apply special discounts to certain groups of products. Users who use products from a catalogue supplier which offers Block calculation discounts should contact their catalogue supplier to determine which, if any, Block calculation discounts are accessible to them. Then users should contact our Support Team to request access to the applicable Block calculation discounts, which once available are downloaded as catalogue updates.
For more information, see How to download catalogues and updates.
