Purchase Requisition Discount Amount

I’ve been trying to find an option to add a discount amount for a purchase requisition line. All I can find is the discount percentage, but this is not a valid option. My client is entering after the fact purchase reqs for things like hospitality and a discount amount is often given for a total amount, say $360. I can have the users manually calculate the discount percentage at the line level but this is not user friendly and often doesn’t add up to the correct net amount. 

I tried to create a 200% discount and it allows me on the Purchase Req line, however, there is a blocking message when attempting to convert to a PO, since the PO line would have a negative amount. I can do the discount total on a PO by using charges and entering a negative amount, however, I’m struggling to find any options to enter a discount amount for a purchase requisition line.

Any thoughts or ideas? Thank you.

Purchase Requisitions are primarily intended to capture a demand/request for goods or services, not to finalize commercial terms with the supplier. Because of that design, discount handling is limited compared to Purchase Orders. Hence only a discount % is facilitated there.

Agreed. The fact these PR’s were being created retroactively was a red flag. We ended up removing the PR creation process and using an invoice only workflow with instant invoice. Thank you for follow up.
