After planning your markdown strategy in SAP Retail (either pre-season or in-season), you can execute it and monitor the planned vs. actual sell-through results to see how well the strategy is working. You control the markdown plan, so you can make adjustments at any time if you see that sales are doing better or more poorly than expected. The base system does not suggest markdown percentages or any changes to your plan based on actual results.  However, a future implementation view may include Khimetrics, which does recommends markdown percentages
