Question:
When attempting to apply a discount code to an entire invoice, discount codes are not in the lookup screen, only non-inventory codes.


Answer:

When entering this type of discount, the program uses a non-inventory code to direct posting to General Ledger.

A non-inventory code must be created to be used as a discount code. This code can be applied to an entire invoice. To create a new non-inventory code:

1. Select codes, non-inventory, normal, from the options menu.
2. Enter a code and description.
3. Enter the General Ledger income account to use when applying the discount. Entering a unit price and unit cost is not required.
4. Click Save.

To use the non-inventory discount code:

1. Enter a sale.
2. Highlight a line below the items on the invoice.
3. Select option, apply discount, invoice total.
4. Select the discount code from the drop-down menu.
5. Enter the percent of the discount in the value field and click OK.
