I have a discount item. In a case such as the above I would add part number DIS-001 to the invoice as the last item, look at the total amount of the bill so far, and guesstime the appropriate amount which I would then enter as a negative value as the price for said DIS-001. I have no idea how this reflects good practices & all. Presumably one should write off all one's DIS-001 sales at the end of the year, but I leave that to my accountant.
