A client is using the Receipts in IC and it is working nicely – thank you.
They would like to apply a Discount that would be a non-taxable discount.
In other words, the taxes have to remain the same as before the Discount.
Currently, the Taxes are recalculated when we enter a Discount on the Receipt – Total tab.
Is there a way to enter a Discount with an option so that the Taxes are not recalculated and reduced?

Hi Samuel,

Unlike the Additional Cost, there are no options to control the 'taxability' of Receipt discounts in Inventory. There is no option like 'Include tax in discount base' as there is in OrderEntry. Thus whatever discount percent or amount you enter on the Totals tab, this will affect the receipt amount prior to any tax calculations.

Additional Costs cannot be negative, so entering a negative additional cost instead of a discount would not be a workaround.

I can write this up as a suggestion for R&D to consider.

Samuel:

Which tax jurisdiction is this applicable to?

I'm not aware of any place in North America that says the taxes have to be calculated before for an Order Discount.

Doug, you are correct.
My client did not explain to me well enough his situation.
He kept telling me that this was a discount offered by the Supplier, without touching the HST/GST tax.
I showed my contact this thread and your comment, and he finally was able to explain that he was referring to an early-payment discount.
This of course can be handled properly in AP with setting up the proper Term Code.

Thanks for helping me out on this.
