[ic] Display Quantity Discount in Flypage

[interchange-users@interchange.redhat.com (Steve Graham)]

Thanks for the tip Jim.

Currently I already have another database called group discount which holds 
the discounts at specific quantity breaks for the various items we have. The 
break prices are usually at box qty, say 6, and case qty say 36. But with 
all the differenct mfg's we deal with they are all different. Some have a 
box qty at 4, and a case at 24, bx at 12, and case at 48. So I have a huge 
list of qty breaks for each item that has a sku in the pricing file. I have 
written an external program to apply the discounts in my groupdiscount file 
to the pricing file - whenever manufacturers have a price increase.
