Shows the possible payment discount percentage for the journal line. The discount will take effect if the line is applied before the Pmt. Discount Date.

The field is used only if the journal line is an invoice and the account type is a customer or vendor account. If the journal line is not an invoice, the field will be empty.

The program calculates the percentage automatically by using the contents of the Posting Date and Payment Terms Code fields.

The payment discount percentage is used in connection with posting to calculate a possible payment discount. When a payment is later made to a vendor, a payment discount is granted according to the date that has been entered in the Pmt. Discount Date field.
