    I want to use the GP GL Variable Allocation feature to allocate Corporate expenses to about 20 divisions based on the Net Sales of each division. Since each store uses a Gross Sales (Credit) account and an offsetting Sales Discount (Debit) account the Net Sales for each is the net of the two accounts So, when trying to determine the % each is of the aggreate Net Sales total amount I need to net the two accounts but GP does not reconize the debit-credit calculation and adds the two together (eg. 1000 sale less 50 discount = 950 but GP calculates as 100 + 50 = 1050) .

    Not sure what you're saying here - could you be more specific re: Discounts & netting against Gross Sales?
