Vendor 3051 gives Fabrikam a cash discount of 4 percent if an invoice is paid in seven days. April enters an invoice on June 29 for 1,000.00. The vendor lets April take a discount of 60.00 instead of the default discount of 40.00 that is available for this invoice. April opens the Accounts payable Payment journal form, and then creates a payment journal. She clicks Lines to open the Settle open transactions form, and then clicks Functions > Settlement. She marks the invoice and changes the Cash discount amount field value to 60.00.
