582I have a client who is trying to verify how Non-Qualifying Discounts work because they have several different situations where invoices get posted late through no fault of the company, and they want to take the discount, and they want to control this via Payment Terms. So by default take all discounts, and if for some reason you want to skip taking a discount on a certain invoice, you select alternate Payment Terms for that invoice so that no discount will be taken when you run a "Take Non Qualifying Discounts" check run
So there are some extreme examples that were put in to the Test environment and a couple of invoices were put in with extremely out of date Document Dates. 2/6/14 and 5/1/2004 (I realize that is extreme, but it is testing data)
These two invoices were posted in May 2014 along with some others that had dates either in the current period, but still violated the discount terms (i.e. dated 5/1/2014 with a 2/10 discount term), and one invoice that was dated April 2014. All of them had the same default 2/10 terms from the vendor.
On all the invoices with 2/10 a Discount Available was calculated, but on the two extreme invoice examples (Feb 2014 and May 2004) it would not take the discount even though "Take Non-Qualifying Discounts" was selected when building the batch. All the other invoices with 2/10 Terms that were outside the discount window but reasonable dates (April / May) took the non-qualifying discounts.
So, without having to do a lot of research and put in dozens more examples, can someone tell me if there is some cut-off threshold for Great Plains where it will not take the discount no matter what? Does it have to do with posting an invoice in a current period from a prior period?
