Purchase Discounts are used to record discounts applied by the suppliers for material or service purchases. This option is located under the Definitions menu of the Purchasing management module.
The conditions to be applied to discounts to slip bottom or line transaction on purchase slips, receipts and purchase invoices are recorded using the discount definition. Defined discounts are used to enter the formula used in applied discount calculation and the discount application rules into the program. In this way, if the same discounts are applied to each purchase transaction due to an contract with a supplier, such standard discounts will be applied automatically. Discounts and expenses related to line transactions are recorded right under the related line, while discounts, expenses and promotions related to slip bottom are recorded on the section separated by double lines.
