Terms Tab Explained
Discount Field
-
You may assign a percentage Discount to each customer.
-
Discount is used to record a % discount given to the customer and is applied to all Work Orders and/or Invoices.
-
The discount entered in this field will be auto-filled in the Work Order when the customer is selected.
-
On the Invoice, the discount will display in the Discount box on the Line Item Entry screen only. It will not be automatically applied to any retail items on the Invoice.

To delete the entry, click in the field and press the Backspace or Delete key.

If the Contact is a Supplier, do not use this field for recording your buyer’s discount, it will not show up in the Work Order. Use the discount field in the Price Codes file instead.
Terms Field

Use the Edit... feature to make changes to the Terms field, e.g. Cash only.
Important: The Terms list in the Contacts file and Invoice file are independent of each other. Changes made to this pop-up menu do not appear in the Terms list of the Invoice file and vice-versa.
