Operations Menu - New Cash Discount

In normal circumstances, when an Invoice is paid, a settlement discount will be calculated automatically when you enter the Receipt. This discount depends on the Payment Terms of the Invoice and the Receipt Date. The 'New Cash Discount' function is provided for more individual circumstances. After you have specified an Invoice Number, change the Received Value to the figure paid (i.e. the Invoice Total less cash discount). Press Tab or Return (but make sure the cursor is in the same row) and select this function. A new row will be created, containing the phrase "Cash Disc". As a default, the Received Value field will be set to the figure that remains outstanding on the Invoice: you can change this figure as appropriate. When the Nominal Ledger Transaction is created, the Cash Discount Account specified on the 'Debtors' card of the Account Usage S/L setting will be debited.
