What is a general discount?

A general discount is a discount that has been added to a bill via the + discount button. Via this button you can add a discount type that you have created yourself.
​( "How can I create different discount types?")
​
​

How do you see a general discount in your reports?
• Revenue report:
Reports - revenue - employee
The general discount is indicated in a separate line with the amount given in discount.
• Discounts report:
Reports - Discounts
The discounts report shows all discounts for one month by default, you can shorten/extend this period at the top of the report. For a general discount the name of the discount type will be listed.
​

​What's the difference with a regular discount?
You can also give a discount per service/product or the total in the bill.
There is no specific type of discount attached to this.
​
In the revenue report you do not see the discount in a separate line because the amount was deducted directly from the normal price. So you see the service at a reduced price right away.
​
In the discount report the discount is counted, but there is no separate line.
E.g. on June 25th a total of €11 discount was given
€1 normal discount directly on a service
€10 via general discount (student discount).
