Reports > Accounting > Discounts Given shows what discounts took off over a date range, who gave them and who approved them.
What it counts
Discounts on posted, paid and partially paid invoices, dated by the sale date like the other sales reports. Estimates and unposted invoices are not counted. A refund of a discounted invoice takes back its share of the discount in the period it was refunded. Sale prices are not discounts here; see the Sale Performance report for those.
The top of the page
Given Away (the total), Invoices Discounted, and Manager Approved (how many discounts needed a manager).
By Discount
One row per standard discount, with its rate, how many invoices it was on, how many needed approval, and what it gave away. A standard discount you renamed is listed under its current name. Birthday and anniversary specials share one row, and typed discounts share another ("Typed discounts", rate Varies).
By Salesperson
Who gave each discount, which one, who approved it (if anyone), how many invoices, and how much. Use it to see who discounts the most and how often a manager steps in.
The report needs the Financial reports permission. Print and Export CSV work like every other report.
