How to: Determine Base Amounts for Payment Discounts on Sales

  • Article

Payment discounts are dependent on when an invoice is paid. They function independently of the other discounts, which are dependent on the item or customer.

You must decide if payment discounts are based on the invoice amount with or without VAT.

  1. In the Search box, enter General Ledger Setup, and then choose the related link.

  2. On the General FastTab, select the Pmt. Disc. Excl. VAT field, if you want payment discounts to be calculated from the invoice amount without VAT.

    If you want payment discounts to be calculated from the invoice amount including VAT, clear the Pmt. Disc. Excl. VAT field.
