Need Discount field after Subtotal

Hello,



How do I setup a Discount field right after Subtotal? I know it's possible to enter a discount (for the whole invoice) as a line item, but I would prefer to have a special field for it right after Subtotal.



Peachtree has a data field named "Discount Amount" which is the amount a customer can deduct if he or she pays early. Now, what if the customer pays before or on the same day that the invoice is written? Is there any way to manipulate the "Discount Amount" field to automatically deduct the amount from the Subtotal if the payment has already been made?



Any other ways to setup a Discount field in the footer? Thanks for any help.

Hi Mike -

Besides using a line item, about the only thing I can think of is to use the Amt Paid at Sale . . . go in like you're receiving payment against the invoice, enter your discount amount, and change your G/L account to your Sales Discount account . . .

However, we usually just add a footer line to our invoices to the affect of "If invoice paid by [discount date], deduct [discount amount]" and leave the invoice as is. Discounts are naturally visible within the receipts Window when you receive payment . . .

Thanks for the help Chad, but the "Amt Paid at Sale" field is already in use. I guess a Discount field is impossible after all. :-(
