 Working with the App


2026/09/17 • 1 min. to read
Use Discount Allocation to distribute payment discounts across the VAT combinations, dimensions, and G/L accounts of the original posting. The allocation is created automatically when a payment discount is posted; no separate allocation action is required.

Set up discount allocation

  1. Open General Ledger Setup and enable discount allocation for sales, purchase, or both posting types.
  2. Open the relevant G/L Account Card and define whether the allocation uses the standard discount account, the original account, or an alternative account.

Post and review allocations

  1. Post or apply an entry with a payment discount as usual.
  2. Review the captured allocation status, dimensions, and original G/L account in VAT Entries. Before posting, the same information is available in VAT Entries Preview.
  3. Use Discount Allocation Detail Entry to review the calculated shares, VAT combinations, dimensions, and G/L accounts used for the allocation.
  4. From Detailed Cust. Ledg. Entries or Detailed Vendor Ledg. Entries, use the allocation entry count to identify detailed ledger entries with related allocation details.
When an application is unapplied, the app uses the saved allocation details to reverse the distribution consistently.
