Applying discounts to a PO

Applying discounts to a purchase order

Supplier discounts can be applied at the line item level in PO Flow. This allows you to track the negotiated cost accurately while keeping your full list price on record.

How to apply a discount

1. Open or create a purchase order.
2. For each discounted line item enter the discounted unit cost directly in the cost field rather than the list price.
3. Alternatively, if you want to record both the list price and the discount separately, use the Notes field on the PO to note the original price and discount percentage for reference.

Landed costs vs discounts

Discounts reduce your unit cost and should be reflected in the unit cost field. Landed costs (freight, customs, insurance) are additional costs on top of the unit cost and should be added using the Landed Costs feature (Growth/Pro) rather than adjusting the unit cost field. This keeps your true landed cost per unit accurate.

Supplier credits

If a supplier has issued you a credit note from a previous return, you can apply it to a PO using the Supplier Credits feature. Go to the PO, find the Credits section, and click Apply Credit. The credit amount will be deducted from the PO total.
