Question

The discount field in an invoice is not treated as a product therefore is not included in any sales report. Can I edit this field to be included in sales reports?

Hello,

 

Adding discounts on your invoices means that your customers are getting a great deal on your products/services. It's important that you're able to account for these discounted transactions when you're reviewing your sales reports. I'll help explain where to look in order to see this information.

 

The discount will appear in the Memo/Description column on your sales reports. For instance, take a look at the Sales by Product/Service Detail report. I've included a screenshot below to demonstrate how the discount will be reflected.

 

 

Keep in mind that in most cases, this will only appear on detail reports, not summary reports. For example, your Sales by Product/Service Summary report doesn't display this information.

 

Your Profit and Loss Report will show the discounts given under the Income section, too. You'll see this on both the Profit and Loss and Profit and Loss Detail reports.

 

I hope this helps clear things up for you.

 

Cheers!

Hi there! Everything seems to work well with the discounts, except that they are not showing up on my P&L under the Income section. Is there a setting I have to turn on or do I have to wait a certain period of time to make sure these are showing up correctly? Thanks!

BTW - the discounts ARE showing the Sales by product / service detail, they only are not showing on the P&L
