Transaction Discounts
A discount item can also be used to reduce the total amount of a transaction.
To apply a discount item to a transaction’s total, select the discount item you want to apply in the Discount field. NetSuite autofills the item’s rate and the transaction’s discounted total.
Body-level discount items are items that are added to the body of a sales order record. These items are used to apply a discount to the entire order, and their amounts are typically a percentage of the order total. When a body level discount item is added to a sales order, it will automatically reduce the total amount of the order by the discount amount.
In Record: The discount amount will be added as a separate line. The disc amount will be reduced from total amount.
In saved search: Will show the discount item in a separate line. Also, the disc amount will be reduced from each item’s amount.
Line-Item Discounts
When a discount item is applied on a sale, it reduces the line-item amount that precedes the discount item by a percentage or flat rate. A discount item added in-line is never applied to all items on the transaction.
To apply a discount to all items on the transaction, choose a discount in the header.
Line-level discount items, on the other hand, are items that are added to individual line items on the sales order. These items are used to apply a discount to a specific line item, and their amounts are typically a percentage of the line item total. When a line level discount item is added to a line item on a sales order, it will reduce the price of that line item by the discount amount.
In Record: The discount amount will be reduced from subtotal of an item.
In saved search: Will show the discount item in a separate line. Also, the disc amount will be reduced from just above item’s amount.
