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.
