Discount Details

Control how discount details appear on printed documents using the Print Discount and Shipping Lines in Columns setting. To set the setting status, go to Setup > Company > Preferences > Printing & Fax, and click the Printing subtab. For more information, see General Printing Preferences.

Depending on the option you select for the setting, your printed documents will show discounts in different ways. Here's a quick comparison:

Adjust either the withholding tax or the discounts before saving. To apply a discount to items on a transaction, see Applying a Discount on a Sales Order.
