# Service Charges and Discounts on Split Orders
The application of service charges and discounts depends on where they are applied:
#### Applied on Main Checkout
When a service charge or discount is applied to the entire order on the main checkout screen, the calculation is based on the **total order value** (all items combined). This charge or discount can then be transferred between groups as needed.
> **Example:**
>
> A 10% discount applied on the main checkout calculates 10% of the entire order total, regardless of how the items are later split into groups.
#### Applied on Split Order Screen
When a service charge or discount is applied directly within the split order screen, it applies only to the **specific group's items** and is calculated based on that group's subtotal only.
> **Example:**
>
> A 10% service charge applied to Group 3 calculates 10% of only the items within Group 1, with no effect on other groups.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:
```
GET https://docs.bossithq.com/pos/order-creation/checkout/payments/split-order/service-charges-and-discounts-on-split-orders.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
