Add a discount to your sales invoices

Enter discounts on an invoice as a percentage of a line item, or a full amount.

  1. In the Sales menu, select Invoices.

  2. Select an existing invoice or to create one, click New Invoice.

  3. Enter the details in the relevant fields.

  4. In the Discount column, enter your discount as a full amount or as a percentage. If it's a percentage, add % after the discount value.

  5. Save or send the Invoice

The line item total and transaction total will update to include the discount when you click out of the Discount field. A total discount value for the transaction will also show above the transaction total.

Profit & Loss - Discounts given

If you enter a discount, the discount will be posted as a Cost of Sale. The default chart of account is Discounts given - COS. This way you can keep track of your given discounts

  • Sales Discount: Discounts given ( Cost of sales )

If you want to change these default account, you can do so by going to
​Settings -> Invoice Settings and change the accounts within the Discount Accounts Section.
