Discounts on your sales invoices

On sales invoices, you can currently provide 2 types of discounts:

• Cash discount: You reward your customers who pay the invoice quickly, specifically within the period stated for the discount. For example, if the customer pays within five days, they receive a 2% discount on the invoice amount excluding VAT.
• Commercial discount: You reduce the purchase amount as a commercial gesture. You can give a percentage discount (e.g., 10%) or a fixed amount discount (e.g., 10 euros).

Cash discount

Per customer, you can indicate whether this customer is entitled to a cash discount. In the contact details, you can enter the standard cash discount for this purpose.

You can still adjust this per invoice in step 4 'Payment instructions'.

We mention the cash discount at the bottom of your invoice.

Do not confuse with cash discount on purchase invoices

As an entrepreneur, you can also receive cash discounts from your suppliers. The discount you receive there and possibly also use can be entered on the contact record of this supplier. This information helps OkiOki automatically link your purchase invoices with your payments. Because in the case of a cash discount, the paid amount will not match the invoice amount. If OkiOki knows how much cash discount you receive, it will also take that discount into account when linking.

Commercial discount

You can also configure the commercial discount per customer and per invoice.

Per customer, you can specify a standard commercial discount.

If you have granted a commercial discount to a contact, OkiOki suggests this discount on each invoice line. You can always adjust or deactivate it per line.

The commercial discount appears on your sales invoice at the amount of the invoice line.
