Applying a Discount on a Sales Order

You can apply a discount to an entire sales order or to individual items on the sales order. You can apply discounts either when you create the order or later by editing the sales order.

To apply a discount to items on a sales order:

  1. Go to Transactions > Sales > Enter Sales Orders > List.

  2. Next to the sales order containing the item that requires a discount, click Edit.

  3. To apply a line-level discount, insert a discount item directly below the item you want to discount.

    • To add a discount item, select it in the Item column, and then click Add or OK. For details on existing discount items, go to Lists > Accounting > Items, and in the Type field, select Discount.

    • To create new discount items, go to Lists > Accounting > Items > New, and click Discount. The new discount item that is added applies only to the previous line item.

      Note:

      If the previous line has a lower value than the discount item, calculation errors may result.

    • To deduct the full price of an item, add a subtotal line below the item, and apply the discount to the subtotal line. Make sure your discount item is equal to or less than the item preceding it. Any taxes should also be on a separate line.

  4. To apply a discount to the entire order:

    Note:

    If you apply a discount to the entire order, the system adds it to any defined line-level discounts. For example, if you apply a 10% line-level discount, and there is already a 10% order discount, that item now has a 20% discount.

    1. On the Items subtab, in the Discount Item field, select the discount.

    2. In the Rate field, make sure the desired rate for your selected discount item appears. If not, edit the field to insert the correct percent or currency value.

    3. Click Save.
