How do I apply a discount in a sale?

This article shows how to use a discount when processing a sale on the Purchase screen.

Applying a Discount in a Sale

To apply a discount to a sale, click None in the Discount column for an item in the sale.

Next, click Custom Discount, choose whether you want to apply a Percentage or Amount discount, and enter the value. Then choose whether to Apply to all items in the sale or only to the item you selected. Click OK to finish and apply the discount.

When applying an Amount discount to all items, the total discount is split among them, keeping the overall discount equal to the amount entered. It does not apply the full amount to each item.
