AR-C Discount
08/11/03 at 09:32:08
 
When applying payments in AR-C it is possible to enter a discount amount. Our accountants insist that we record freight discounts seperate from other disounts. Unfortunately only one discount field exists and we have to keep track of the freight discounts by enetering them in to a journal book (remember those big black books Roll Eyes.
Is it possible to create another discount entry field that keeps track of a second type of discount?

It is possible but not simple and I have never had anybody ask for it before.  Anybody else interested?

Interesting,
 
I haven't run in to anyone that seriously discounted freight before.  It being a hard cost and all.
 
So why do you folks discount freight so consistently?

We discount freight, but don't keep track of it separately.

Researching it a little further , I now found out it that it is more a correction of freight amounts and therefore should not be counted as a discount at all

We had a similar problem in that we wanted to see the total discounts given on sales order lines and DBA only displayed the discounted total in the P&L.  Another problem we had is that many times the discount we give is a dollar amount and not a % of the line item.  We created a generic N type part called Discounts-Sales and  add that line to the sales order. The description is available to clarify the discount.  This part number is posted at invoicing  to a sales GL account.  In this way we capture the total discounts given for a period and it shows in the P&L.
