BOD discount amounts for lockbox processing

The discount amount from the DiscountTakenAmount element in an inbound ProcessRemittanceAdvice BOD can be used during lockbox processing instead of standard discount calculations.

The discount amount from the BOD is used when these conditions are met:

  • The Use BOD Discount Amount When Provided check box is selected on the SA Administrator Options-Customers-Cash Receipts screen.
  • The inbound ProcessRemittanceAdvice BOD includes the RemittanceAdvice/RemittanceAdviceLine/DiscountTakenAmount element.

The discount amount is applied based on the configuration of the Use BOD Discount Amount When Provided check box. Possible scenarios:

  • Selected:

    • The BOD includes the DiscountTakenAmount element: The BOD discount amount is applied.
    • The BOD includes the DiscountTakenAmount element with a value of 0.00: A zero discount amount is applied.
    • The BOD does not include the DiscountTakenAmount element: Standard discount processing is used.
  • Cleared: Standard discount processing is used regardless of the BOD content.

Limitations

  • This functionality applies only to lockbox transactions processed through inbound ProcessRemittanceAdvice BODs. The standard calculated discount logic is used when lockbox transactions processed through the EDI 820in flat file.
  • The BOD discount override does not apply to the lockbox auto-apply process.
