Discounts on bills

byomtov · ‎June 12, 2020

I have a vendor who gives me a volume discount as well as a prompt payment discount. While I assume the prompt payment discount is handled automatically, I see no way of including the volume discount either on the PO or the bill payment.

There are some references to an "Add Discount" button, but I don't see it.

Is there any way to put this on the PO, which would be best since I usually receive partial shipments?

Greetings, @byomtov.

Thanks for reaching out to the Community. At this time, there can only be one discount on the pay bill screen. However, I'll submit feedback to our Product Developers so they can consider this in one of the upcoming releases for QuickBooks. You can learn more about applying a discount to a bill and other helpful information through this link provided.

If there are any other concerns you may have, just let me know. I want to ensure that you're able to get back to running your business. Bye for now!

Ok. Thanks.

Are there any suggested ways to work around this problem?

Good day, byomtov.

The best way I can suggest is to create an Other Charge item and enter a negative fixed amount. Then, you can add it on the purchase order or to an invoice.

Go to the Lists menu and select Items.
On the Item List window, click New.
Select Other Charge and enter the item details.
Save the item.

You can also check this article for more details: Add, edit, and delete items.

I'll be here if you need anything else. Have a great day!
