Currently, the subtotal shown on invoices reflects the discounted amount, and credits are only noted as available. I propose the following enhancements to improve transparency and usability:

Display Pre-Discount Subtotal:
Add a line that shows the original subtotal before any discounts. This helps both sellers and customers clearly see the value of discounts applied.

Final Total Should Reflect Discounts and Applied Credits:
The "Total" at the bottom should reflect the final amount after discounts and credits have been applied. This makes it clearer for customers to understand what they are paying.

Line-by-Line Discount Display:
On the invoice line items, display both:

The original unit price

The discounted unit price
This makes it easier to track how much discount was given per item and avoids manual calculations.

These improvements would not only streamline reconciliations and credit applications, but also improve clarity for customers, especially for those receiving volume-based discounts or partial credits.

i agree , we definitely need this

can add a vote to this? I need to show the excluding discount total as my client needs to make invoices to purchase orders, and not showing the original value makes it confusing.

Also, the default layout for discounts makes it look like the discount is applied twice. Please add this as a field

Agree. The entire discount functionality in Xero really needs a revamp.

yes!! a line total PRE discount code.

or allow us to discount the invoice total

Fully support. Or show the discount line before Total

Absolutely support this request. Hopefully, Xero developers will look into this.

I would also suggest that a line item could be added in the subtotal section of the invoice which is the subtotal of discounts. As per the draft view, pre approval.

I really need this too, for 3 companies I own
