Sales Invoice Discount - Not Dependent on Minimum Amount

Posted on by CU23012013-0

Hi Community,

Is there a way to have an invoice discount without giving minimum amount? As per checking in the system, sales invoice discount is automatically calculated based on minimum amount set per customer. Was wondering if there is a way to have sales invoice discount based on discretion? Or would it be better to include sales invoice discount using an Item (non inventory) as another sales line? Goal is to have sales invoice discount in the sales order which is based on discretion.

Hello CU23012013-0,

In Business Central, the Sales Invoice Discount does not require a minimum amount. The minimum amount is only used when you configure Customer Invoice Discounts for automatic discount calculation.

Go to Sales & Receivables Setup.

Turn OFF: Calculate Invoice Discount.

Now the Invoice Discount % field becomes manually editable, and you can define the Invoice Discount %.

Business Central allows manual entry of the invoice discount even when no minimum amount is defined. The automatic calculation is only triggered when Customer Invoice Discount records exist.

Note: Using a non-inventory item as a separate sales line for discount is possible, but it is not considered a true invoice discount and may impact reporting and statistics.

Hi,

You can achieve this by following below steps.

1 - Setup Invoice discount for all the customer or group of customer as per your requirement. Keep the Minimum amount as 0.

2 - Make sure that all the Sales Price that you have defined has "Allow Invoice discount" Boolean as true. If this is false the system will give error while creating sales order or invoice.

3 - On the Sales & Receivable setup keep the Calc. Inv. Discount Boolean as false. This helps and allows you to enter the Invoice discount % and amount manually on the Sales Order/Invoice etc.

This way system allows you to enter or remove Invoice discount at your discretion.

Please make sure your setups are correct otherwise system will not allow or give error while entering Invoice discount on Sales Order or Invoice.

Hello,

Business Central supports this configuration. You would need to review your Sales settings in the field:

This will allow you to generate the discount per document directly in the invoice.

I hope this helps.

Best regards,

Andrés

Hello,

Yes — you can apply a discretionary invoice discount without using a minimum amount, and you don’t need to create a non-inventory item. The minimum amount setup only controls automatic invoice discounts; for manual control, simply open the Sales Order → Statistics and enter an Invoice Discount % directly (as long as Allow Invoice Disc. is enabled on the customer and lines). The system will distribute the discount across the lines automatically. Using a non-inventory item as a discount line is only recommended if you want it visible as a separate line or posted to a specific account, but for standard discretionary discounting, manual Invoice Discount % is the cleanest approach.
