Avaza invoices don't work out early payment discounts for you. You can still offer one: tell your customer the terms on the invoice, then adjust the invoice if they take the discount.

Offer the discount

When you create the invoice, write the terms in its Notes, for example "2% discount if paid within 10 days".

To offer the same terms on every invoice, add them to your invoice template's Default Payment Instructions & Notes, on the template's General tab in Settings › Invoice & Bill Settings. New invoices that use the template start with that text in their notes. See invoice templates.

When your customer pays early

Record what they paid with Record Payment. Because it's less than the total, the invoice becomes Partially Paid. Then close the gap in one of two ways.

Add a discount line to the invoice. This changes the invoice itself, including the online copy your customer sees.

  1. Open the invoice and click Edit.

  2. Click Add Row and fill in the line with a negative Unit Price, for example -40.00 for a $40 discount.

  3. Click Save Invoice. The invoice total now matches what was paid, so the invoice is Paid.

Or apply a credit note. This leaves the invoice as you sent it.

  1. Go to Invoices › Credit Notes and create a credit note for the discount amount.

  2. Open the invoice, choose Actions › Apply Credit Note, and apply the credit. The invoice is Paid.

See working with credit notes for the details.

The invoice total can't be negative, and it can't drop below the payments and credit already applied. Every line needs a tax rate, so check with your accountant how the discount should be taxed.
