Question

Can I add a % discount to a line item in an invoice. Or can I add a % discount line which only applies to a specific line item in an invoice. Ideally on the android app

I'll help you add a discount to your invoices, Glen12. 

 

For now, you can only do the following functions in the QBO mobile app:

 

    • View over 20 reports.
    • Enable features on your mobile device, such as online payments.
    • Create custom invoices featuring your company logo, fun fonts, background image, and custom fields.
    • Provide your accountant access to your account. With access, you and your accountant can collaborate and be better prepared for tax time.
    • Customise your account with over 80 partner applications, including inventory management.
    • Upgrade your subscription.
    • Quickly run payroll (requires activating QuickBooks Online Payroll).

As a work around, you can use the web version and add a discount item with a fixed price. Here's how:

 

  1. Go to the Gear icon and select Products and Services.
  2. Click New, then select Non-inventory or Service for the type.
  3. Name the item Discount. If you want to create multiple discount items, give them unique names so they're easy to tell apart.
  4. In the Sales price/rate field, enter the discount as a negative amount. Keep in mind, this is a dollar amount and not a percentage.
  5. From the Income account drop-down menu, select the Discount given account. QuickBooks creates this account for you when you turn on the discount feature.
  6. From the Sales tax category drop-down menu, select Nontaxable.
  7. When you’re done, select Save and close.

Once done, add the discount that you just created below the line item that you want to be discounted. You can also add a reply below if you need anything else.
