Post to G/L Discount Method

Field Description
Gross – Without Discounts

Select this option to change the voucher discount method to gross (the most commonly used method). This method posts charges to the general ledger without subtracting the discount amount. When you post cash disbursements, any discounts taken are posted as a credit to the general ledger, either against individual line items or against one discount account.

Net – Including Discounts

Select this option to change the voucher discount method to net. This means that Costpoint posts charges to the general ledger, including the discount amount. Discounts cannot be taken on vouchers that are posted using the net method, because the posted amount is already net of the discount.
