Line-Item Discounts
Line-Item Discounts offer a way to provide customer discounted pricing, while showing the regular price and discount percentage for each line item.
Line-Item Discounts let you enter a percentage discount for individual line items on sales transactions. With Use Discounts checked in the Item Prefs, a column for the discount appears on Quotes, Sales Orders, and Invoices, built-in forms include layouts listing the discounts, and tools for assigning a global discount for a given customer or to a whole transaction are available. This Solution describes this feature. (5860)

Line Item Discounts are supported by the following changes:

* The Expanded tab is the second tab or page of the Sales Order or Invoice and can be set as the default view in the Customer Prefs, in the SO or Invoice Prefs.
Once enabled, Line Item Discounts is very easy to use. Enter a Discount for a Line Item and its Extended Price will be reduced by the percentage entered. In the picture "20" has been entered as the Discount and one, $10 item has been reduced by 20 percent to an $8.00 Extended Price.
