Correct entry for discount given by vendor

Hello.   I am with a newly formed company selling products (not service) that we buy from vendors. 

One of the vendors gives us a special discount here and there.  It does not seem to have a set rule (e.g. 10% discount if paid w/i 10 days of invoice, or 10% discount if purchased more than $xx etc).  What is the correct way to enter the discount?  Is there a way to add the discount on a bill? 

Appreciate your help!

Correct entry for discount given by vendor

I'll help you enter the discount, MKT22191. It will take a few steps. 

 

You can create a vendor credit. It will serve as a discount. Then, link the credit when you pay the bill.

 

First, here's how to create a vendor credit:

  1. Click the New or Plus sign (+) button.
  2. Select Vendor credit.
  3. Fill in the necessary fields.
  4. Click Save and close.

Then, apply it when you pay the bill. Here's how:

  1. Click the New or Plus sign (+) button.
  2. Select Expense or Check.
  3. Select the vendor's name, then click Add for the outstanding bill and vendor credit.
  4. Click Save and close.

Although, if you're using the Online Bill Pay feature, we have a different way to apply the credit. You can refer to this article for the details.

 

Feel free to reach out to us again if you have other concerns. Keep safe!
