if the amount auto populated does not match what you would like to have as a discount, you can simply modify the corresponding accounts payable \[ap] term simply head over to account payables > bills and select the bill you would like to modify change the selected ap term, and the auto populated discount in the plugin will be automatically updated this will directly be reflected in the to pay column how can i change the ap term settings? head over to payables > set up > more > terms to edit ap terms are discounts supported in different currencies? yes, discounts are supported in all currencies i changed the ap term in my bill, but it is not reflected in the plugin yet what should i do? the plugin always reflects exactly what is in the bill on native intacct if you have updated the bill, and it is not yet updated in the payables page, wait 30 seconds and refresh the plugin; the bill should then be updated why can i not pay a partial payment with a discount? discount terms cannot be applied to partially paid bills to benefit from discounts, you have to either be paying the bill in full in one payment be paying the last partial payment on the bill if there is no amount due left on the bill (after that last payment), you can apply the discount please refer to the hover "i" in the discounts and to pay columns explaining the expected behavior what is the discount as of date? the discount as of date is the date at which the discount is processed why are grace days not taken into account? grace days are currently not supported i changed the bill, but it is not reflected in the plugin yet what should i do? the plugin always reflects exactly what is on the bill in native intacct if you have updated the bill, and it is not yet updated in the plugin payables page, wait 30 seconds and refresh the plugin; the bill should then be updated if i have multiple line items, where will the discount be applied? if the bill is paid in full, the plugin will apply the discount proportionally, split between each line item if the bill is paid in installments, the discount will be applied to the last line item of the last payment (the discount will not be used before the bill is paid in full) why is native intacct not passing my discount while the plugin does? when the payment date is set to be after the discount cut off date, but the discount as of date is set to before the discount cut off date, the plugin does not replicate native intacct intacct offers a partial payment without the discount being taken into account, while the plugin sends the payment with the discount
