Configuring Accounting for NetSuite Connector Order Discounts

When you use discounts, you need to set up how the discount item affects the general ledger in one of these ways:

• By configuring a discount account

• By configuring the discount item to be non-posting

Configuring a Discount Account

Post the discount against the general ledger by setting up a discount account. For example, if you apply a 10% posting discount to a $100 item, $100 goes to the revenue account, and an offsetting $10 debit goes to the discount account, like a sales discount account.

To configure a discount account:

1. Go to Lists > Accounting > Items.

2. Click Edit on the discount item row.

3. Click the Accounting subtab.

4. In the Accounting subtab, choose the Account option and select the discount account from the adjacent dropdown list.

5. Click Save.

Configuring a Discount Item to be Non-Posting

Post the net item amount after the discount by setting the discount item to non-posting. When a discount item is non-posting, it doesn't show up as its own transaction line. Instead, the net amount after the discount is posted. If you add a non-posting discount after a line item on a sales order, the discount only applies to the previous line item. For example, if you apply a 10% non-posting discount to a $100 line item, $90 posts to the revenue account for that item.

To configure a discount item to be non-posting:

1. Go to Lists > Accounting > Items.

2. Click Edit on the discount item row.

3. Click the Accounting subtab.

4. In the Accounting subtab, choose the Non-posting option.

5. Click Save.
