Select this option to allow discounts to be automatically calculated for credit notes. In Accounts payable, a credit note transaction is a negative transaction that has a value in the Invoice field in the Journal voucher page for an invoice journal. If this option is selected and a credit note is entered in the Settle open transactions page, the discount is automatically calculated and is displayed as the default entry in the Cash discount amount to take field. If this option is not selected and a credit note is entered in the Settle open transactions page, the default entry in the Cash discount amount to take field is 0 (zero). This option is used with the Normal option in the Use cash discount field in the Settle open transactions page. If this option is selected, the discount is taken when the Normal option is used. When you select Always, the cash discount is always taken, without regard for this field. When you select Never, the cash discount is never taken, without regard for this field.
