    Hi Louise_xoz 

     

    Items can only have a positive amount when being created in the Items List. That said when using the item you will have to enter it in as a negative quantity. This will apply the discount to the item invoice so that the amount of the invoice will be discounted.

    Hi Louise_xoz 

     

    Within AccountRight, if you’re using item invoices and need to create a discount item to use regularly this is created in the same was as a normal item. The only difference is that when using the discount item, it would be entered in as a negative quantity

     

    For service invoices, as these don’t use items, you’d need to enter in the discount line manually.

      When I create a new item to use as an invoice line - I can't create a fixed negative value, nor modify it to any negative value. 

       

      Obviously a problem between the chair and keyboard!

       

      Thanks - Louise.
