Hi buuzbee,
I'll be providing you a workaround since QuickBooks Online (QBO) doesn't have a discount feature when paying bills.
Here's how to create a discount account:
- Click the Gear icon and select Chart of accounts.
- Select New.
- Enter an Account name.
- Choose an Account type, and then the Detail type from the drop-down list.
- Enter any necessary information and click Save.
Once done, proceed with these instructions to apply a discount account towards your bill.
- Go to +New and click Bill.
- Fill the necessary information.
- Click Category in Category details, then choose the discount account.
- Choose the desired discount amount. Put a negative sign before the number.
- Select Item details.
- Choose a Product/Services.
From there, you will see that the total is deducted based on the discount amount you enter. This workaround allows you to apply a discount to your bill, which will reduce the balance due.
