For Invoices:


Where a Returns OUT (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 Invoices, totalling $3,555.00, with $250 Returns Out acceptance (Early Payment Discount) = $3,305 Net Payment.


Invoice 1 - $1,555.00 less $100 discount = $1,455.00

Invoice 2 - $2,000.00 less $150 discount = $1,850.00


Total credited to your bank account = $3,555.00 less $200 = $3,305.00 (this is the amount you will see on your bank statement)
