How do you handle Coupon codes in GP? i.e. you have a $50 off an order. How can you enter that on a sales order?

You could enter this as a Trade Discount or as a line item. The nice thing about a line item is that it will print on the details of the document where the Trade Discount will just print in the summary section of the order. Some of this will be determined by what reporting is needed for any single coupon code used in the system.
When you say enter it as a line item, are you referring to buiding a sku or entering it on the comment line? We cant enter a negative value in the price field though....
I'm guessing the issue with the negative value is tied to the "Allow Prices Below Cost" setting in Sales Order Processing Setup. If you want to track the use of these Coupon Codes, using an SKU is a good way to track these as it is then an item in the system that can be reported on versus just being dropped into the Trade Discount bucket. You may want to look at the number of these different discounts though as the number of SKUs could increase dramatically. You could also explore the use of a "DISCOUNT" item and then use the comment to distinquish a certain "deal", but reporting on this is cumbersome due to the data entry factor. Another option would be to explore what Extended Pricing may be able to offer as this may be a better fit than trying to do this (sorry, but not an expert in Extended Pricing).
