You can apply a one off or net value discount to the value of an entire customer invoice, credit note, order or quote. You can apply these discounts as a set value or as a percentage of the total value. Let's take a look.

NOTE: The net value discount option is not available in Sage 50 Accounts Essentials. If you're interested in Sage 50 Accounts Standard or Professional and you'd like us to call you, leave your details and we'll be in touch.

 TIP: Alternatively, on an invoice you can enter a negative line on your invoice by selecting the Make negative check box in the Edit Item Line window. Read more >

1. Create your quotation, sales invoice, credit note or sales order as normal.

4. To enter a discount as a percentage of the net invoice or order value complete the Discount % box or to enter a one off discount value complete the Disc. box then click OK.
