Like Michael, I'm not quite certain what you have going on here. It
sounds like a consignment type operation. I too don't think you need to
consider the difference as a 'loss' or 'expense'. It is their margin,
not yours. But perhaps I am not understanding your situation properly.
As for having the 'discount' column trackable, I don't think it is
possible. But you can track discounts another way.
Instead of using the discount feature, enter the discount as a separate
line item tied to a 'Discounts and Allowances' account. Then you can
report on that account.
You can also choose to uncheck the option when posting an invoice to
'consolidate splits'. This way, the individual line items will all
appear in the respective account registers and then you can see that
detail in reports. (There is no other way to get reports on line-item
detail from bills/invoices)
Regards,
Adrien

Hi,
Just when I was thinking I had accumulated all the pieces of the jigsaw I
need, I discovered the A/R account.
I have a shop that charges 50% margin on whatever they sell. So, if they
sell one candle for £12 then I will invoice them only for £6. They get 30
days credit, so ideally I'd use the A/R system. I've played around with
this and it seems to do what I expect to the Balance Sheet and Profit &
Loss Report except for one thing: I seem to lose any record of the 50% of
the total sales value that they have taken.
There is a Discount column in the invoice but this doesn't seem to show up
anywhere in the accounts. I'd like to have some record of the money I am
'losing' in sales commission, maybe as an expense.
Can anyone offer any advice on how this might best be approached, please?
Kind wishes - Patrick
