Changing discount amount or date on AP bill before it gets paid

Has anyone had any luck figuring out how to change a discount amount after an AP bill is posted before it gets paid? Right now we have to enter a debit adjustment and re-enter the AP bill. That is time consuming. There should be an easy way to look at the bills and change the discount amount or date before it goes to get paid.

Hi ​@hhamby — there is no native way in Acumatica to directly edit the cash discount amount/date on a posted AP Bill, changing the discount directly would break accounting integrity.

 

When creating a payment in Checks and Payments:

  • Select the bill
  • Go to Applications tab
  • Override:
    • Cash Discount Taken
    • Or adjust Balance Paid

or 

 

  • Review bills in payment workfile/queue before processing; adjust discounts there if supported.

  • Set up vendor terms with flexible discount % defaults, override per invoice pre-posting.
