Invoice - Discounts more than 2 d.p
This column is useful but could be improved.
As already noted in another existing idea, it would be good if there was a way to indicate whether the discount is per-item or for the line. As it stands, if there is a count, then to emulate a dollar discount on each item, we have to manually calculate the total discount for the line (number * $ discount) to enter the appropriate line value.
The percentage discount option is good also (as it avoids the above problem with specifying an absolute amount). However, it has a different problem in that the percentage value seems to only be honored to two decimal places. This obviously means that it is not possible to give a 1/3 discount (for example) - a discount that can't be represented to two decimal places needs to be calculated separately and entered as a dollar amount for the line.

Increasing the precision from 2 to 4 would be a very small change required by Xero. We integrate with you, passing in 4dp decimal discount rates results in rounding errors. Could you please fix, pretty please?

My payments don't match my invoice value, because we pass a discount percentage through with multiple decimals, which is rounded/truncated to 2 decimals by Xero, so we are out by a few cents most of the time... this is very frustrating and causes a lot of additional work - just because Xero limits discounts to 2 decimal points...
