Discount

As I was trying to rush to a meeting with a client yesterday, I looked at their invoice and saw that I forgot to add in a 10% discount on the total order as I had promised.

So I create a subtotal item at the end of all the items in the invoice, which for example gave me a subtotal of $500. I wanted to apply the 10% discount, so I made a discount item and applied it right below the subtotal with the amount of "-10.00" in the price field as instructed in the help files... all this had done was subtract $10 bringing the total to $490 instead of $450... Any reason as to why it didn't work?

Thank you for your help.

QB gives you the option of using a flat rate OR a percentage. You entered a flat rate. From the QB helpfile;

a.. 1.. Enter the discount amount or percentage: 2.. If the discount is a percentage, enter the number of the discount followed by the % symbol. For example, 5% tells QuickBooks to multiply the previous line by .05.

a.. If your discount amounts vary, you may want to leave the Amount field blank and enter the amount directly on your sales forms.

It did exactly what you told it to.

Thanks a lot L... I remade a discount item and set it as 10% instead of just 10.00 and it did the trick. Thanks.
