Hello Christy1213,
Yes, you're right. Adding a discount when paying bills is available in the QuickBooks Desktop version. However, this feature isn't yet available in QuickBooks Online.
I see how helpful this feature is as well as managing several transactions/payments. Let's send this suggestion to our Product Development team by following the steps below. Our developer will evaluate this idea and might be given a chance implement in the future.
- Go to the Gear icon.
- Select Feedback under Profile.
- Enter your suggestion. Then, click Next.
We have a workaround that you might consider doing to manage the discounts. We can edit the bills you already created. Then, add the discount as a separate line item. Please note that this process can be done when creating a transaction. Also, the calculation must be done manually.
If this workaround does not seem to work for you, we can look for a third-party application to get this done seamlessly, as Fiat Lux - ASIA advised. We can also go to this link to find a third-party application that can be integrated with QuickBooks. Apps for QuickBooks Online.
To manage your transactions, we can use this article as a reference: Enter expenses, pay bills, write checks, and manage suppliers.
Please let me know if you have more concerns about handling customer and vendor transactions in the program. I'm always here to help in any way that I can.
