Invoice (1306 or equivalent) to show Payment before terms with discount amount

Posted on by 185
I have been asked to replicate something like this and add it to our invoice - as per payment terms.
If account is current and this invoice is paid within 10 days from XXXX, you may deduct a 2% discount of $--- and pay only $---. (different payment terms)
 
 
I cannot find this from the posted sales header - only payment terms but I find this from Customer Ledger Entries.
Can someone kindly guide me through the best way to achieve this through development?
 
I'm guessing there is no easy way and it's only achievable through AL development.
However, I'm starting to learn AL but my knowledge is very limited so if someone guide me the easiest way to achieve this, that'll be really appreciated.
 
Thank you,
I have the same question (0)

    If the discount percentage is always constant, you can technically hardcode it directly into the layout. To do this, you can modify the RDLC layout of the report to include the text blurb shown in your screenshot. This way you won't need to use AL.

    However, the best practice is to add a new field to the report dataset using AL to represent the discount percentage. This is required because as you discovered its not a standard field in the report. Once the new field is added, update the RDLC layout to include both the text blurb and the dynamically generated discount percentage field, and amount fields.

    To include a discount payment message on an invoice in Business Central, you'll need to calculate and display the potential payment discount based on the payment terms.
    hope this helps:

    You could have a dev to create a custom report for the sales invoice displaying the payment terms and discount.
