Go to the vendor group

and then go to the Item Posting button

There on the Item Posting form you will find

Discount option to specify based on ItemId/ Item Group / ALL

Please verify and let me know if it solves your issue.

Please check the Posting type of the account which you have specified

If you go to the Chat Of Accounts Form and validate this account

go to the Setup Fast tab

there you will find the Posting Type and it should be Purchase, discount.

Please verify and update your feedback.

Hi Bilal,

Can you indicate if you have multiple companies in your environment? If so: Are they using the same chart of accounts or different CoA with some identical account numbers? Are the settings copied from one company to another?

Dear Bilal,

please check the discount account in item model, under inventory and warehouse.

here select the item group and link the discount account under purchase tab.

hope this will solve your issue.

thanks & Regards.

Have you activated the discount combination option (for vendor groups) under procurement and sourcing > setup > price / discount > activate price / discount? I would normally use item posting to have discounts follow the item, but vendor should work as well.
