Purchase discount posting

(3) ShareShare

Posted on by Raghav3022 227
Hi,
 
In purchase & payable setup, Discount posting is set to All discounts.
 
Now when line discounts are availed for service items, discounts are posted in discount ledgers.
 
But when line discounts are availed for inventory items, discounts are not posted only the final amount is posted.
 
Can someone explain the reason for this ?
 
 
Thanks,
 
Raghav

    Hi,

    Yes, you can cancel collection letters in bulk using standard functionality.

    Go to:

    Credit and collections > Periodic tasks > Review and process collection letters > Cancel collection letters

    From there, you can run a batch job and define filters such as customer account, letter level, or date criteria to mass cancel the letters that were already created but not yet posted.

    Hope this helps!

    This behavior might be standard in Business Central.​

     

    For service items, discounts are posted separately to the designated discount accounts since these items don't involve inventory valuation.​

     

    For inventory items, line discounts are typically absorbed into the inventory cost, and thus, the system does not post them separately to a discount account.​

    Warm Regards,

    Zain

    Hello,
     
    The difference in how discounts are posted for service items versus inventory items in Business Central could be due to the specific setup and handling of these items. For service items, discounts are often posted separately in discount ledgers because they are treated as service-related expenses. However, for inventory items, the discounts might be directly applied to the final amount to simplify inventory valuation and cost tracking.
     
    This ensures that the inventory value reflects the net cost after discounts, which is crucial for accurate financial reporting and inventory management.
