    Thank you everyone for engaging about the need for a discount column in Bills with us here.

    While there isn’t a direct column for adding a discount atm, there are a few ways you could look to reflect this in your bills right now;

    • Use Xero’s inbuilt calculator in the Price field, and add a note to the description of that line e.g $5 item at a 20% discount you would enter 5 x 0.8 in the quantity field and could add a description “including 20% discount”
    • Reduce the Quantity field to reflect the discount e.g 20% discount enter 0.8 in the Quantity and use a descriptor as above
    • Use a separate line of the bill to enter a whole amount discount with a negative Price amount

    This has been requested for so long. And it is a total no brainer. This is software used by small and medium businesses. If XERO management had any idea of the needs that we have they would have fixed this a long time ago.
    Every month when I pay my monthly supplier accounts I grit my teeth over not having this functionality. And I know other small businesses that feel the same. I also know some businesses that did not proceed with purchasing Xero because of the abscence of this feature.

    Whilst I continue to use Xero I do not recommend it to others. In fact I disrecommend it. Customer focus and response is very poor. This particular topic has dragged on for years. The lack of action by Xero show how out of touch their senior management is from customers of their in the field.

    Very disappointing response. Same old same old. Clearly Xero doesn't care about existing customers. - John Rae

    I told agree with Rosalyn Easton
    I was stunned not to have this feature when I started using Xero in July 2022. I consider it a major omission that should be fixed ASAP. A total pain to work around. Aarggghhhhhhhhhh
