Processing Invoice Discounts

After saving the sales order, click Calculate Invoice Discount.

GoldFinch will automatically use the Invoice Discount service item defined on the Company Setup to create a new sales line.

On the sales line, the invoice discount amount is calculated automatically based on the invoice discount setup.

Notes:

1. If a Sales Line Discount and Sales Invoice Discount are used in one Sales order, GoldFinch calculates the Invoice Discount based on the Line Amount of all Sales Lines where the Item Type = Inventory. The Line Amount is the amount after the line discount is considered.

2. If there are updates to the Sales order after calculating Invoice Discount, click Calculate Invoice Discount to update the invoice discount amount. Additionally, if you partially invoice the sales order, click Calculate Invoice Discount to update the invoice discount amount on the sales invoice.
