Total Unit Amt

This field displays the number of units billed multiplied by the unit price. It cannot be modified.

Disc %

Use this field to store volume or good customer discounts. Discount percentages entered in this field are multiplied by the Total Unit Amt to arrive at a Disc Amt. Costpoint uses the Disc Amt to immediately reduce the invoice amount. Therefore, the invoice amount and billed receivable recognized and posted are net of this discount.

Do not use this field to store prompt payment discounts because you do not know, when preparing an invoice, whether a customer will pay within the terms eligible for discounts. Prompt payment discounts are applied during the entry of cash receipts; however, they are typically applied against an invoice that has been recorded at the full invoice amount.

Disc Amt

This field stores the discount amount arrived at by multiplying the Disc % by the Total Unit Amt. It can be modified. If you modify this field, the Disc % field reflects the new percentage of the discount.
