I know how to get this done in QuickBooks Online, mehul9k.

 

Since the capability to assign discounts per line item in sales forms has been added, we can now easily add discounts to your transactions. Please note that discount by line item is available only in the invoice, sales receipt, estimate, and credit note.

 

To start, let's enable line level or item-wise discount, here's how:

  1. Go to the Gear icon and then select Account and Settings.
  2. In the left panel, select Sales.
  3. Click the section named Sales form content.
  4. Enable the option named Item-wise discount.
  5. Click Save and then Done.

 

After that, we can now use the item-wise discount on an invoice:

  1. Go to the + New button, then click Invoice.
  2. In the Product/Service column, select an item that you would like to bill your customer for.
  3. In the Discount column, enter a discount percentage or a discount value.
    1. If 25% is entered in the Discount column, QuickBooks will compute the discount to be 25% of the value displayed in the Amount column. For example, if the Amount column displays 200 and Discount displays 25%, the Total discount from this line item will be 200*25% = 50.
    2. If 25 is entered in the Discount column, QuickBooks will take it to be the total amount of discount. In this case, the Total discount from this line item will be shown as 25.

The discount given on sales will be tracked in the account named Discounts given. This account also tracks the transaction level discount.

 

You can also run the QuickReport to easily track your transactions in QuickBooks. I'll guide you how:

  1. From the Accounting menu, select Chart of Accounts.
  2. Type in Discounts given in the search field.
  3. Click on Run report.
