We want to track discounts on purchase orders. Our procurement department tried to do this by adding a negative AOC, but that caused a lot of issues when accounts payable tried to enter the invoice. Any tips or suggestions on how to track this?

Thanks,
Margaret

We had a lot of issues when we first implemented Lawson and Purchasing added AOC at the PO level. So now only AP adds AOC when they process the invoice. Purchasing doesn't touch the AOC field. And we have a code specifically for product discounts.

Same here. Adding PO AOC works for the totals but then we ended up with negatives on the activities because unless AP knows they're there, they add them a separate invoice AOC and never the twain shall meet.

We alter the PO line unit cost to reflect the discount and Finance does something to note the value of the asset.
