Hi there, @drm53. I appreciate you for seeking assistance with discounts on your invoices. I'm here to help you with setting up a discount per line item.
To get started, please make sure to enable the discount feature from the Accounts and Settings window.
- Go to the Gear icon, then click on Account and Settings.
- Tap on Sales at the left pane.
- In the Sales form content section, click the pencil ✏ icon to edit it.
- Mark the Discount box. QuickBooks automatically creates a discount account on your register.
- Hit Save, then Done.
After that, you can create a discount item from the Products and Services.
- Click on Products and Services from the Gear icon.
- Tap New to create a new item.
- Select Non-inventory or Service for the type.
- Name the item Discount. If you want to create multiple discount items, give them unique names so they're easy to tell apart.
- In the Sales price/rate field, enter the discount as a negative amount. Keep in mind, this is a dollar amount and not a percentage.
- From the Income account drop-down menu, select the Discount given account which QuickBooks creates when you turn on the discount feature.
- From the Sales tax category drop-down, select Nontaxable.
- Tap on Save and close.
When you're ready, add the item created to your invoices.
- Open the invoice.
- Enter another line item for the discount.
- Click Add subtotal to separate each item and its discount.
- Click Save and close.
