Is it possible to make an item not have any discount at all?

Question

This is the situation - A customer wants to turn off the ability for all users to give any discount for certain items. Rest of the items may have discounts based upon BP discount or any other price hierarchy discount. Users can also override this discount during order creation. But discount should be possible only if the item master data says the item is discountable.
Is this possible please? Is there such a field on Item master data to turn off discounts altogether? If not any other suggestions to achieve the above.
Thanks.

Hi Bala, you are right, the user must be able to give discounts to items that can be discounted. Most often the discounts will come from the BP price list and associated special and hierarchic pricing.
As Rakesh suggested, I shall run it by our client if they would want to limit discount ability across the board for their users through General authorizations and perhaps allow for only some users who could override manual discounts to certain limits. Again it pertain to the ability to override manual discounts on top of BP discounts through list for all items for some users only.
Thanks again Bala and Rakesh.
