Discounts by Invoice Lines

Hi IFS Community, 

This request relates to how cash discounts are applied.

Currently, we have customer agreements that offer a 1% discount if payment is made within 10 days. This discount is intended to apply only to parts, not to freight charges. However, when payments are processed, IFS calculates the discount at the total invoice level, which includes freight. As a result, the discount is slightly overstated on each invoice.

To correct this, the discount must be manually adjusted on an invoice-by-invoice basis, impacting approximately 300 to 500 invoice lines each week and taking about three hours to complete.

Ideally, we would like to configure IFS so that the 1% discount is applied only to part lines and excludes freight charges. This would ensure that payment amounts match invoice totals accurately and eliminate the need for manual adjustments.

Is it possible to achieve this in IFS Apps 10 IEE or IFS Cloud without requiring a system modification?

    Hi ,

    Could you please clarify whether the discount is defined at the customer agreement level or if it is linked to the payment terms?
    It appears that the way the discount is applied differs depending on where it is configured.

    Hi Himarashi, 

    The discount is linked to the Payment Terms. 
     

    We want to see if it was possible if the discount did not to apply to the entire invoice, they want to exclude charges from the discount. (I.e Invoice is $1000 and $900 is product & $100 is charge, we want 1% only applied to the $900. IFS is going to do $10)

    Hi ,

    As per the standard functionality, if the discounts are defined under payment terms, discount will apply on the total amount due under relevant installment. Not possible to consider only products.

    Hi Himarshi, 

    That is what I thought as well. Thank you for confirming this and commenting on the post. I greatly appreciate it!
