In normal circumstances, when a Purchase Invoice is paid, a settlement discount is calculated when the Payment is entered. This discount is determined by Hansa according to the Payment Terms of the Invoice and the Payment Date. This function is provided for more individual circumstances.

If you have a Purchase Invoice for which you want to deduct a cash discount, start by entering the Purchase Invoice number in the left-hand column. Change the Sent Value to the amount less discount. Then select 'New Cash Discount' from the Operations menu. A new row will be created, containing the phrase "Cash Disc" and the deducted amount, calculated by Hansa. This figure can be changed as appropriate. When the Nominal Ledger Transaction is created, the Cash Discount Account specified on card 1 of the Account Usage P/L setting will be credited.
