Payment discounts are dependent on when an invoice is paid. They function independently of the other discounts, which are dependent on the item or customer.

You must decide if payment discounts are based on the invoice amount with or without Tax.

To determine a base amount for payment discounts on sales

  1. In the Search box, enter General Ledger Setup, and then choose the related link.

  2. On the General FastTab, select the Pmt. Disc. Excl. Tax field, if you want payment discounts to be calculated from the invoice amount without Tax.

    If you want payment discounts to be calculated from the invoice amount including Tax, clear the Pmt. Disc. Excl. Tax field.

Important
The selection that you make in this field also determines how payment discounts are calculated for purchase invoices.
