Discounts can be applied to Invoices as a percentage on the entire bill. Dollar value discounts can be applied to specific Menu Item/s.
Percentage Discounts
The discount comes off the sub-total amount. Eg, if the subtotal is $2000 & you give the guest a 50% discount, the subtotal is $1000. The tax is then applied to the $1000.

Dollar value Discounts
To discount an existing Menu Item, override the Menu Item price to the discounted amount.
Click on the price of the line item you would like to override
Enter the new price in the box
Press the enter key or click anywhere on the screen to save
Alternatively add a Menu Item specifically for discounts and add a minus symbol (-) in front of the amount.
Below the line items click the + Add Item button
Give the new item a name (example: "$50.00 Discount")
Select the appropriate Revenue Category
Enter in the amount using a negative value (e.g. -500)
Click Save
Important Considerations
The only symbol accepted is the minus - any other symbols, such as a comma will cause an error.
Discounts that are added as a percentage are linked to the Invoice. Not the Booking itself. To show the Discount on other Documents such as Contracts, you can follow the steps in this article.
