When you post a purchase invoice that includes one or more discounts, you can choose between two principles for posting discount amounts. You can post discounts separately or you can subtract discounts from invoice discounts.
Before you can do this, you must have already set up the necessary accounts for posting discount amounts in the chart of accounts. You must also check that you have entered the correct account numbers in the general posting setup in the Purch. Line Disc. Account and Purch. Inv. Disc. Account fields.
To choose a principle for posting purchase discounts
In the Search box, enter Purchases & Payables Setup, and then choose the related link.
On the General FastTab, in the Discount Posting field, choose the principle for posting discounts.
The following table shows which principle you should choose, depending on whether you want invoice discounts and line discounts to be posted separately or subtracted from the invoice amount.
