Cash Discount issue after Debit Adjustment

We have an original invoice of $10,000 with 2% cash discount for payment within 10 days.We returned goods worth $1,000 via debit adjustment.
The system still calculates cash discount based on the original invoice amount ($200 discount), instead of the adjusted net amount of $9,000 (correct discount should be $180).

My temporary workaround: I used a $9,000 debit adjustment to offset the original bill, then recreated a new $9,000 bill to get the correct payment amount.

Could anyone advise if this method is acceptable? Are there better solutions?

Hi ​@ray20  as per my understanding better solution is that Adjust Cash Discount Manually

When processing the payment:

  1. Go to Checks and Payments (AP302000)
  2. Select the invoice
  3. Override the Cash Discount Amount
  4. Enter $180 instead of $200

@nasir 

Thank you for your suggestion.

I have done a simple test. For an original bill of $1000 with $100 goods return, the net payable amount is $900, and the correct cash discount should be $18.I am able to manually change the cash discount amount to $18 on the payment screen. Nevertheless, the system still shows an outstanding remaining cash discount balance of $2.-------------After bill is released, the cash discount amount on the bill is non-editable.

May I ask if I have done anything wrong during the operation?

@ray20 You didn’t do anything wrong, It’s acumatica standard behaviour
 

Acumatica calculates the discount only from the original bill amount, not from the adjusted balance.

So internally:

  • Original discount = $20
  • You manually took = $18
  • Remaining = $2
