For Bills:
Where a Returns IN (Early Payment Discount) is accepted and paid, the entries into your accounts are as follows. Please note that steps 1 & 2 are fully automated.
Using an example of a 2 bills, totalling $3,555.00 bill, with $250 Returns In acceptance (Early Payment Discount) = $3,305 Net Payment.
Bill 1 - $1,555.00 less $100 discount = $1,455.00
Bill 2 - $2,000.00 less $150 discount = $1,850.00
Total taken to your bank account = $3,555.00 less $200 = $3,305.00 (this is the amount you will see on your bank statement)
