In Heartland Retail, markdowns are recorded at the time of sale.Markdowns are calculated by taking the difference between the Original Price of the item and the Sold Price of the item. Once an item is sold at a discounted price, you can see the markdowns in reporting through a metric called "Source Sales >> Net Markdowns."

It is possible to mark down product prior to sale on the item record, by modifying the Current Price of the item on the item record, as shown below:

The difference between "Original Price On Hand" and "Price on Hand" is your retail value on hand of markdowns taken.
