Percentage discounts

If i have raised an invoice for say £100.00 and i then give a customer a 10% discount, is there a way of easily doing this without ammending the cost of the invoice?

Hi Chris,

Solar Accounts cannot calculate the amount of the discount - you will need to do this manually.

The simplest way to record the discount is to add an extra line to your invoice with a negative price. If you don't want to do this then you will need to create a Credit Note for the discount amount, then apply it to the invoice as described here:

Also note that if you are VAT-registered and offer a discount for early payment of the invoice, you should record the discount as described here:
