To review current Discount Item records:
- Log in to NetSuite ERP as an administrator.
- Go to Lists > Accounting > Items.
- Review the list for a Discount Item that meets your needs, such as Amount Off or Percent Off.
- If a Discount Item matching the discount type needed for your promotion does not exist, follow the next steps to create it.
You can reuse Discount Items in other promotions.
To create a new Discount Item record:
- Log in to NetSuite ERP as an administrator.
- Go to Lists > Accounting > Items > New.
- Click Discount.
- In the Item Name/Number field, enter a descriptive name. You will see this name as a discount line in transaction records generated from the discount in NetSuite. You will also select this when creating the promotion record.
For example, if you are creating a summer promotion with a 10% off discount, you can name the discount Summer Sale 10% Off.
- Enter the discount rate to be applied. The rate can be either a percentage or a dollar amount. A percentage discount must be followed by a % sign. A dollar amount should be entered as a positive number.
For example, enter 10% for a Percent Off the regular price, 5.00 for an Amount Off. For a Price Override, set the Rate at 0.00.

- Under RA Custom Fields, for Reduction Type, select the type of discount to apply:
- Amount Off to apply a flat discount.
- Percent Off to discount the item price by a percent.
- Price Override to replace a current price with a new price.
Note:
If you are creating a complex promotion (BOGO or Mix and Match), select the discount type to apply to the bonus item.
Example 1: If the promotion is to buy one, get one at 50% off, then select Percent Off.
Example 2: If the promotion is to buy two and receive a third at a reduced price of $10, select Price Override. The bonus item will be set to $10.00 no matter what its current price is.
- Transaction Amount Off to apply a flat discount to the transaction total.
- Transaction Percent Off to discount the transaction total by a percent.

- On the Accounting subtab, under Accounts, select Non-posting if you want this discount to be non-posting.
Or, select Account and choose the account to which you want the discount to post.
Note:
Accounting settings for discounts triggered by a promotion may be very important to your company. If you are unsure how to proceed, see Discount Items online in NetSuite and consult your accounting department before assigning these values.
- Select the Tax Schedule to apply to this discount. Check the Apply Before Sales Tax option if applicable.
- Click Save.
The steps above describe setting up Discount Items for use with NetSuite POS Promotions.
