- Discount allowed for the early settlement of accounts - This discount is allowed to your debtors or customers at the time of the settlement of their account. You may agree with your customers to allow a certain percentage of discount allowed e.g. 2½ % if they settle the full amount on an invoice within 30 days). This discount is recorded when a debtor or customer settles the full invoice within the specified time. This discount needs to be entered as an expense in a Discount Allowed account and will reduce the net profit and will have no effect on the gross profit.
