Discount Reason Codes (00/DE)

You can assign a discount reason code during receipt or draft entry for tracking purposes or when you want to use multiple discount accounts. If you set up AAI item RKDxxx (where xxx is the reason code), the system uses the account that is associated with the AAI item.

To track discounts by tax rate area, use discount reason codes that are the same as the tax rate area code. Examples of discount reason codes are:

• ADJ: Adjusted discount

• ONT: Ontario tax rate area

• QUE: Quebec tax rate area

• UE: Unearned discounts that were granted

  Note: If you do not use discount reason codes, verify that blank is set up as a value for this UDC. Otherwise, the system returns an error when you enter a receipt or draft and grant a discount.
