    Hi,
     
    In FO, It restricts because the system prevents overlapping discount calculations to avoid double-discounting. Line discount are applied on items and header's applied on all lines, which may create conflict on tax calculations. You must remove line discount to apply discount at header level.
     
    Thank you,

    Hi NA-13081345-0,

     

    In Dynamics 365 Finance & Operations, when line-level discounts are already applied on a sales order, the system may restrict or ignore the manual total discount (invoice discount) at the header level. This behavior is by design to prevent overlapping or conflicting discount calculations.

     

    🔍 Why This Happens

     

    • The invoice discount is calculated on the total of the sales order lines.

    • If line discounts are present, the system assumes the pricing has already been adjusted and may not apply the header-level discount.

    • In some cases, the invoice discount field may appear editable but won’t affect the totals due to discount priority logic.


      •  
     

    ✅ Suggested Workarounds

     

    1. Remove Line Discounts Temporarily

      If feasible, remove or reduce line-level discounts and apply the total discount at the header. This ensures the invoice discount is calculated correctly.


    2. Use Trade Agreements

      Consider configuring trade agreements to apply consistent discount logic across lines and totals. This avoids manual overrides and ensures compatibility.


    3. Custom Discount Logic

      If your business process requires both line and total discounts, a developer can implement a custom discount calculation via extension to allow both to coexist.


    4. Review Discount Priority Settings

      Check the discount priority configuration in the pricing engine setup. Some setups allow prioritizing header discounts over line discounts.



      5.  
     

    This limitation is common in environments where pricing and discounting are tightly controlled, and customizing the logic may be necessary for more flexible scenarios.

     

    Thanks and best regards,

    In Dynamics 365 Finance & Operations, priority is given to line-level discounts first. This is why applying a total discount on the sales order header fails when line-level discounts already exist.
     
    To apply a discount at the sales order header level, clear or remove any existing line-level discounts first. Once the line-level discounts are cleared, the system allows the application of the header-level discount. This behavior ensures there is no conflict between line and header discounts during calculation and maintains discount priority order in the system.
