Applying discounts and rounding off
Discounts can be per-line or on the bill, with permission limits per user.
Step by Step
- Set the discount on a line or press Ctrl+D for bill-level discount.
- Percent or flat amount — both supported, with live MRP validation.
- Rounding rules (nearest rupee / 50p) are set in Settings → Billing.
- Users without discount permission are blocked — configure per role.
Good Practice
- Give each role a maximum discount, so counter staff cannot give away margin without approval.
- Prefer line discounts for specific products and a bill discount for loyal customers — both show clearly on the bill.
- Keep one rounding rule for the whole shop; the system applies it consistently.
How Discounts Affect GST
GST is charged on the price after discount (the taxable value). A discount given on the bill therefore reduces both the amount and the GST, and it shows correctly in your GSTR-1.
A discount can never take the selling price above MRP — and MRP itself is the ceiling before any discount.
FAQ
- Can I see total discounts given? Yes. The daily sales (Z) report shows discounts given for the day.
- Can I give a discount after the bill is printed? Issue a credit note for the difference so your books and GSTR-1 stay correct.
