How to handle discount amount?

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Hariharans87 3

We are the end user, not the re-seller. We are receiving discount from the vendor. But that discount amount should not be captured in the discount ledger instead it should be captured in the same item ledger account.

We tried to change the discount ledger in the distribution amount, but it is working only for non stock items not for stocked items. Even I am not sure distribution amount is the correct choice for this scenario.

Thanks.

    Hello Hariharan S,

    What kind of discount do you receive? Is this a discount that you know and receive at the time you post the vendor invoice or one that is granted subsequently?

    How do you enter the discount currently?

    Best regards,

    Ludwig

    We are regular customer to the vendor. So, they are giving discount to their regular customers.

    We knows the discount when we create the purchase order not in the invoice time.

    We enter the discount in the discount textbox and manage the ledger by using distribution amount. I am not sure that this is the correct way.

    Hi,

    Can you check the following form:

    inventory/setup/posting/posting and there the PO tab.

    Do you have a separate discount account setup in the 'discount' section?

    If so, can you try deleting it from there and trying to post the PO invoice again? The discount should then reduce the inventory value or your purchased items.

    Best regards,

    Ludwig

    Great. Discount is hitting the item ledger if i enter discount in the line level.

    Any idea about the total discount?

    Hi,

    Can you somehow allocate/distribute the total account to your different PO lines and not enter a total discount?

    If you want to have the total discount reducing your inventory item values then you have to allocate/distribute it somehow.

    Best regards,
