Sales Transactions Entry - Trade Discount and Markdown

On his Dynamics GP Essentials blog, Mahmoud M. AlSaadi wrote that when it comes to a sales invoice discount, there's a distinction between the discount per item (markdown) and the discount per invoice (trade discount).

The difference is primarily represented with the allocation of item discount per item, which is in turn deducted from the extended item price.

AlSaadi wrote that in Microsoft Dynamics GP, there's a predefined set of accounts for both: the discount per item, configured on the item card level and the discount per invoice, configured on the customer card level. You can see what that looks like here.

However, in standard Dynamics GP, there's no link between the trade discount and the markdown, meaning the trade discount can't be distributed into line items, he wrote.

AlSaadi wrote that the aim of his post, which you can read here:

Is meant to provide an important piece of information, which seems to be the bases for creating an additional important feature in Dynamics GP, which distribute the invoice discount and reflect it on an average base on the line items level.
