Line Discounts

BC will post the line discount and the invoice amount simultaneously. The program uses the line discount account that you have entered in the Sales Line Disc. Account field in the General Posting Setup table. You will be able to see the discount amount in the chart of accounts

All Discounts

BC will post invoice and line discounts at the same time as it posts the invoice amount. The program will use the invoice discount account number that you have entered in the Sales Inv. Disc. Account field and the line discount account number in the Sales Line Disc. Account field in the General Posting Setup table. You will be able to see both discount amounts in the chart of accounts.
