Is there an easy way to handle discounts on purchase orders for vendors who require specific discount line items (i.e. a negative line item), rather than rolling the discount into the other "real" line items in the PO?

I have the same question (0)Anthony,
Based on your description of what you need, I think your best method to accomplish this would be to use a Miscellaneous Charge with a negative dollar amount. A Miscellaneous Charge Purchase For line can be added to the Purchase Order or to the Receipt/Invoice Entry. The miscellaneous charge can be applied to any receipt. This will not be indicated as a discount, but you can change the account and subaccount to the appropriate discount account. You can also change the Description on the line to describe this as a discount.
Please give this a try and let me know if you have any further questions.
