Posting Multiple AR Discount Codes to Different GL Accounts

Hello Acumatica Community,

We currently apply multiple discount codes to a single AR Invoice. These discounts are summed and posted as a single document discount, which is then mapped to one GL discount account.

Is there a way to configure Acumatica so that different discount codes on the same AR Invoice can post to different GL accounts instead of being combined into a single discount posting?

Any guidance or recommended approach would be appreciated.

@rohitr21 In short, I don’t believe you can utilize multiple discount accounts, as this account is pulled from the Customer profile where it only allows for a single selection.

 

I’m not aware of any AR Preference that would impact this, either.  It would be tedious, but after the transaction has been posted to the GL, you could reclassify > split the transaction into the relevant accounts.  You could also opt to NOT post to the GL on release and update these manually, but that would be even more tedious.

@nickcerri32 thank you for the suggestion, that would work well but also wanted to know would it be possible with a customization to post different discount codes on different GL Accounts?

@rohitr21 Almost anything is possible with a customization ;) Short answer:  Yes.  Just off the top of my head you could add the Discount Account to the Discount (AR209500) profile.  The issue you’ll need to resolve if you go this route is the workflow of applying that discount to the transaction.  Right now, the system is built to pull that account from the corresponding customer, so you’d be overriding that workflow to instead pull it from the Discount profile.  I’m heavily simplifying and it’s possible that there are multiple screens and workflows that would require modification in this scenario.

Yes, it is possible and it was done for a client who needed the discounts to be broken down by subaccount.  The GL account/sub were added to the Discount Codes and when the invoice was processed the account/sub was pulled from the Discount Codes to post to the GL.
