volume discount
My husband works in wholesale and I hear this all the time.
It is a sliding scale of discounts, depending on the amount of produce orderedover a fixed time (normally a year). Also known as rebate, but volume discount is more specific.

Hi BrazBiz:
I'm not entirely sure of this, but the etymology of the word comes from the French for "appeal".

"Rappel" table
I´m just checking about the existence of an equivalent in English. It is used for calculating salesperson comissions on sales (and due to the above context, it seems as though many other values. I suspect it may be Brazilian, although it seems to be used in France.

recall
Braz,
After some research, I found the word reppel being used as a recall system, whereas a product would be returned due to any fault or improvement.
Though the reference is in French, and the word in Old French is rapel, from rapeler, to summon, to recall, do take a look.
HTH!
