Invoice Discount Column - Show it on copied-to Bills
We like the discount column on Customer Invoices.
We love being able to copy Customer Invoices to Bills.
But what happens to the discount when we copy a customer invoice to a supplier bill? It appears in the total but it doesn't appear anywhere on the bill and it's impossible to edit or remove unless the entire discounted item is removed and added.
I've spent many confused hours wondering why the bill doesn't add up.
Even a flag to state that there is a hidden discount would be an improvement.

Appreciate the detail and how this impacts your flow, Robert.
It'd be good to get some more understanding of the scenarios in which you're finding you often need to copy an invoice to a bill - Welcome any feedback on this to share back with the team too.

new invoicing - when copying an old invoice with prepopulated details, the discount column is not automatically a column, can the column appear automatically please?

This is a critical feature. We have this problem when a purchase order is created with a discount. When you convert the purchase order to a bill, the discount column is missing.

I have the same problem.
A supplier sent a Xero invoice including a discount but when I opened it in my Xero bills, the discount is hidden and somehow 5 x $100 =$250.
You pay the correct amount but if you are looking at the bill confusion reigns until you look at the PDF and see that there is a 50% discount.

We also have a similar issue- only ours is when we create a purchase order the discount tab is available (outlined in red in my attachment), but when we copy this purchase order to a bill - the discount is applied to it, but it appears to be a hidden line - so the unit price shows as the "pre-discount" amount, yet the total incorporates the discount - super confusing to look at - when my directors go to approve the bill they are constantly rejecting as they look at the unit price of the item.
Can Xero please change it so that there is a discount column in Bills?
