SAGE Purchase Discount
Permalink Closed


Hello, I am working for a new company, with no handover (!),  whose purchase invoices sometimes contain the discount option.
I can't find the help I'm asking for in SAGE help facility.... so I hope someone can point me in the right direction (I am self taught on SAGE)

I see the postings from the old bookkeeper when she paid a discounted invoice through BACS (PP), the remaining amount (the discount received) has been posted as PD. How did she create that PD, or is it automatic somehow. If you pay less normally, it gets recorded as 'part paid' - so I am guessing it must be the way the PI was posted in the first instance.

Sorry, but being under pressure to understand how the company works, I don't seem to find the time to play with this!

Any help would be gratefully received.

Many thanks.....

Janie

Hi Janie,

It's quite simple really smile.gif The invoice will have been entered in the normal way. Then when you go into Bank-Supplier to pay the invoice, you type the amount actually paid (ie the discounted amount) in the payment column and the discount amount in the discount column and then hit Save. This will post the amount actually paid in the bank and post the discount to the purchases discount nominal code. (5009 on my Sage).

Well I never! Seems so obvious now - I've never noticed a discount column before, but never had to look before, I suppose! 

Thank you so much for your help, Pauline!

Much, much appreciated that you took the time to respond.  Thanks!
