Excluding the Freight Amount from Discounts

Discount Amount, Discount Date, and Discount Due Date automatically populate using the supplier terms that are in the system. If there is a discrepancy between these fields and the invoice, manually update the fields to match.

Filling in the Freight Amount removes the freight total from discount calculations. If the vendor excludes the freight amount from a discount, enter the freight total in the Freight Amount field.
