  • After applying the discount, review the invoice to ensure the total reflects the discount correctly.

  • Confirm that the changes are accurate before finalizing the invoice.

  • Double-check the final invoice amount to avoid discrepancies.

Tips for Efficiency

  • Familiarize yourself with the discount options available in the system to speed up the process.

Apply Percent and Dollar Invoice Discounts - Watch Video

In this Loom, I show how to take a discount on an invoice. I added a sweatshirt to my invoice that is $65. When I select the percent option and enter 20%, the system automatically applies 20% off the sweatshirt. Then I switch to a dollar amount discount and enter $10, and the total updates to $50. No additional action is requested from you beyond reviewing the discount options.
