Purchase Invoice - Discounts and Delivery?

Very impressed with your software so far running the trial. But I've just confused myself.

My supplier lays out invoices like so;

Product 1 - £13.99
Product 2 - £13.99
Subtotal £27.98

Estimated Discount - 25% £7
Estimated Shipping - Fixed Charge £4.99
Total £25.97

How would I record this? As when I tried to add all this in a purchase invoice, the only way I could get the discount to subtract and the delivery to add etc... was to add them as products and putting there quantity's as 1. Is this the correct way? or am I missing some functions here?

Hi Tony,

Yes that is the correct approach. Solar Accounts doesn't have separate areas for recording the discount and shipping charges - you simply add these as lines to the invoice table (with a negative amount for the discount).

Regards,
