  Entry of Discount

Use

You can enter a discount on the Overview tab page. This discount refers only to payments at single invoice level.

Features

The following scenarios exist for using discount in a payment:

  • Scenario 1:

    If you set the indicator To Be Applied with a discount at collective invoice level, the system uses this discount, regardless whether the discount date is in the past or not.

    Only set the indicator To Be Applied with a discount at collective invoice level if not one single discount is flagged as To Be Applied in all assigned payment proposals.

  • Scenario 2:

    If you set the indicator To Be Applied with a discount at payment proposal level, the system uses this discount for the payment proposal, regardless whether the discount date is in the past or not. The system then does not display a dialog box (see Scenario 3).

  • Scenario 3:

    You have not set the indicator To Be Applied for either a discount at collective invoice level or at payment proposal level.

    The system then determines the discount amounts for the relevant discount dates and displays these results in a list (this is only the case if there is at least one discount date in the past). The system considers discounts at both collective invoice level and single invoice level.

    You can select the discount date that is to be applied. You can also choose a discount date that is in the past.
