Discount at Line level of Sales Order

Discount Item can be created by the following steps:

1. Navigate to Lists > Accounting > Items > New
2. Click Discount
3. In the Item Name/Number field, enter a name or number for the Discount Item
4. In the Rate field, enter an amount or percentage value
5. In the Accounting tab, for the Account field, select a GL Account that will be effected when this item is used
6. Enter additional information as required
7. Click Save

Once the Discount Item is created, it can be used on transactions. As an example, assume that user is selling Item A ($100) and Item B ($200) and the Discount Item has been created with rate of 10%. However, user would like to give 50% discount on Item B only. Assuming this is a Sales Order, this can be done by the following steps:

 

1. Navigate to Transactions > Sales > Enter Sales Orders
2. Select customer and enter other order details
3. Enter Item A for first Line Item
4. Enter Item B for second Line Item
5. Enter Discount Item for third line item
6. Set the Price Level for Discount Item to Custom
7. In the Unit Price for Discount Item, enter -50%
8. Amount for Discount Item will change to $100 because it is calculating 50% of the item right above it which is Item B for $200

Note: The GL Account that was selected during creation of the Discount Item will be effected by that amount.
