Spanish term

rápel

Spanish to English Bus/Financial Accounting EDI, e-billing, taxation
SPAIN. This sounds like a bog-standard "bulk discount" to me. However, a client tells me that it's called "rappel" in English and is somehow different.

"En una negociación comercial, se llama rápel al descuento que se concede a un cliente por alcanzar un consumo determinado durante un periodo de tiempo ..."
Proposed translations (English)
3 discount rate
5 discount

I am now inclined to go for "rebate". I think it is often applied annually (or within a given period) if a certain volume is reached. One dictionary says the use of the term rápel is not strictly correct, and should be replaced by retorno (http://economia.esacademic.com/)
Hope this has helped a little.

However, there is no definition to distinguish it from a common or garden "bulk discount/volume discount"... So, basically I need to know if people actually use "rappel" in English or not when talking about some kind of discount. For now, I've pencilled in "Bulk/Volume discount (Rappel)"...
neilmac (asker) Sep 27, 2016:
In this ref, "rappel" is mentioned: "In particular, it was unclear whether some volume discounts, such as rappel,(2) should be taken into account when determining the actual purchase price.
matt robinson Sep 27, 2016:
I have used "volume discount" in the past, as it can apply to services (particularly advertising), as well as goods.

discount rate

Rappel isn't an English word and most agency editors and freelance revisers pick up on this fallacy.

Howbeit, if followed by 'al descuento' then (recoupment) rate is one minimalist answer.
Example sentence:

- Legislation > Reference and discount rates (in %) since 01.08.1997

discount

I do not think rate fits in here, just 'discount'.
