Hello, 
 
 How can I add a Discount to a AP purchase invoice? Is there a way I can get in contact with someone to discuss this?

Hi Kathya Guerrero

In Sage Business Cloud Accounting, discounts aren&rsquo;t typically added directly to the purchase invoice itself in the same way as sales invoices. Instead, there are a couple of common approaches: 
 
 Adjust the line item amount on the purchase invoice to reflect the discounted price before posting, or 
 Apply the discount at the time of payment when recording the supplier payment 
 
 Applying the discount during payment is the most common method. When doing this, you&rsquo;ll want to ensure that the total payment and discount combined don&rsquo;t exceed the original invoice amount. 
 If you&rsquo;re trying to reflect an early payment discount or vendor-specific terms, those can also be handled during the payment process rather than at invoice entry.
