Print Discount from SU13/Invoicing

The Print Discount field dictates how Discount is calculated which impacts the Invoice Line Extension as well as how Discount is presented on the printed invoice.

  • When the Print Discount check box is selected (i.e. Print Discount is ON), the discount percent is applied (Qty x Price) to get the extended discount amount which then reduces the line extension. On the printed invoice, the regular selling price is printed along with a discount 'code' followed by the discounted line extension. The discount 'code' is cross-referenced in a legend that is printed at the bottom of the invoice that explains the discount percent applied to the invoices lines.

  • When the Print Discount check box is not selected (i.e. Print Discount is OFF), the discount percent is applied to the selling price to get the discounted selling price; then (QTY x Discounted Selling Price) to get the line extension. On the printed invoice, the discounted price is printed and extended; there is no discount code or discount legend printed.

The calculations produce slightly different line extension totals. Note: Order value line extension uses Qty Ordered in the calculation; the invoice line extension uses Qty to Ship in the calculation. Here is an example to illustrate the two scenarios:

  1. Print Discount is selected for our customer:

    Product Qty order B/O To Ship Price Discount Extension
    ABC 27 0 27 259.38 12.5 6127.85

    • The Discount 'Amount' is calculated as follows:
      [(Qty x Price) x Discount] / 100
      [(27 x 259.38) x 12.5] / 100
      (7,003.26 x 12.5) / 100 = 875.41

    • The Line Extension is calculated as follows:
      (Qty x Price) - Discount Amount
      7,003.26 - 875.41 = 6,127.85

  2. Print Discount is NOT selected for our customer:

    Product Qty order B/O To Ship Price Discount Extension
    ABC 27 0 27 259.38 12.5 6127.92

    • The Unit Discount 'Amount' is calculated as follows:
      (Price x Discount) / 100
      (259.38 x 12.5) / 100
      3,242 / 100 = 32.42

    • The Discounted Price is calculated as:
      Price - Unit Discount 'Amount'
      259.38 - 32.42 = 226.96

    • The Line Extension is calculated as follows:
      Discounted Price x Qty
      226.96 * 27 = 6,127.92

To recap, when Print Discount is selected, the Discount is calculated on the (Qty x Price) extension. When Print Discount is NOT selected, the Discount is applied to the unit price and then the line is extended.
