The powers that be want to be able to add a discount to an order. The discount is to be at the order level, meaning not to a specific line item.
Since there is no Discount Amount at the header level (only a discount %), I’d have to use a Misc Header Charge. But they don’t appear on Misc invoices.
Yes I can add a Line Misc Charge to the invoice, but if we could do that we’d just apply a discount right at the line on the order.
We often have to make Misc invoices, for non-tangible (i.e nothing to ship) order lines, for things like “Test Reports”, “Site Survey”, etc… So these would require manually adding a Line Misc Charge on the invoice. But then when a shipment actually happens, the Order Misc Charge would be automatically added to the Shipment Order.
An undesirable solution would be making a Part entry for PartNum “DISCOUNT”. But I hate these as they leave the order open, as the never ship.
Any Thoughts?
