Unearned discounts

Unearned discounts are discounts that are taken by a customer that are outside of the discount date as specified on the terms of the invoice. The discount amount is specified in Customer Cash Receipt Entry.

Specify group-level unearned discount settings from Customer Master Group Setup-General. Select one of these options in the Allow Unearned Discounts field:

  • Bypass: Allow unearned discounts are based on customer settings. The group is bypassed.
  • Yes: Allow unearned discounts for all group members
  • No: Do not allow unearned discounts for any group member

The group level unearned discount setting is honored in Customer Cash Receipt Entry. The system checks for a group-level unearned discount as part of a larger validation. You cannot allow a discount greater than the amount to be applied to the group.
