Hi everyone, thanks for feeding back to us here. Understand the rationale for wanting to be able to apply discounts on bills in Xero, similar to how you can with Sales invoices. This is something our team would like to develop into bills, however there are a few other important pieces of work that need attention first. So, for the time being we'll leave this as Submitted but as soon as there's movement we'll update you of any change through the idea here. Thanks!

I am new with XERO. When entering a bill from a supplier I discovered that there is no quick built in option in a column (there is this option in creating an invoice) for applying a discount to that item. My supplier offers 10% on some items and 5% on other items in the same bill. XERO already includes this easy option when creating an invoice. It seems like a no brainer to add this IMPORTANT option for entering a bill. How soon can this be actioned? Tinkering with the number of items or create fractions of an item this will create a nightmare for my inventory numbers. Creating a separate line for a discount is a time wasting exercise. PLEASE find the way to include this easy improvement ASAP. This would save time for users.

I was surprised by this limitation. I don't understand why Xero doesn't support supplier discounts on invoicing.
At the moment we are integrating with Xero API and unlike sales invoices, we will have to calculate the discount before sending the data to Xero system. Unfortunately, the integration of purchasing bills will be less transparent. -

Is it possible to be able to apply even a penny discount when paying a supplier invoice. ATM i have to go back into invoice to reduce the original amount of invoice by the discount which is time consuming

Hi I agree , we need to add the discount % on the contact detail where you do all the financial info if very invoice carries a %. We should also be able to add a discount on single invoice (refer sage cloud).This is very import for the retail clients.Thanks

I agree. My Suppliers add discounts to each line. No having a discount column as it does in invoicing makes entry slow.

It seems inconsistent that there is a discount column in invoices but not bills. Should be easy enough to add it in since it is in the invoice template already.

Agree, our suppliers often give us discounts on products and I have to manually go and recalculate each item (100's of items on one invoice). There should be a column headed discount, then we can just type in the percentage and it will work it out.
