Early payment Discount

Hello I have just notice something with the early payment discount. i created a sales invoice with an early payment discount. the value is 1000 and the early payment discount is 5% that is 50 meaning the customer was suppose to pay 950 if he respect the terms. but when i record the payment with 950, it shows that the customer still owes 50 which is the early payment discount. when i record the full amount 1000 in the receipt, it balances and adds 1000 to the receipt but i think the receipt was to be the net that is 950 not the total 1000.

An secondly the discount is not recorded as an expense. i think it will be better that when a customer respects the duration for the discount the expense account for the cash discount should be recorded as an expense automatically.

It’s clearly explained in the guides, which you should have consulted before starting a new topic as the forum rules demand.

As @Mark says you should have searched the guides and found https://www2.manager.io/guides/14497 more specifically:

Early payment discounts are recorded in two steps:

  • Entering the reduced receipt
  • Creating a credit note to adjust account balances

Hi, everyone.
I HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM AND I CAN’T FIND THE GUIDE THAT TELLS ME ABOUT HOW TO RECORD THE RECEIPT TO BALANCE THE AMOUNTS.

Indeed, it used to be the proper one but when they issued new guides they made the old ones on www2… rather than … I just corrected my older post to read www2. Thank you!
