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
- If you use Purchase orders, when you copy the Purchase order to a Bill though the discount column will not show the Subtotal…

Hi Nicola, really appreciate you taking the time to share this idea. Right now, the only place to add detail when recording an expense in a project is the Expense Name field, which is limited to 100 characters. You can consider this as a workaround to include a short description with the title— but we know that it’s not an ideal solution when you need to provide more context or add a professional level of detail.
This idea is now in the Gaining Support stage. If you’ve found creative ways to work around this or have thoughts on what a proper description field should include, we’d love to hear them. The more insight we get from real workflows, the more helpful it is in shaping future updates.
We look forward to seeing more discussions on this idea.

Thanks Daniel, and really appreciate your feedback in relation to the recent release and update of the idea you've linked - Feedback you share on our Status updates also get back to the teams involved so they've received your comments there too!
Not meaning to cut the curb the conversation, but we do sometimes need to make tough decisions of when to change the status of an idea.
It's great to get a fresh sense and understanding of interest in further improvements to this feature that our Projects product team can consider development for.
I've slightly amended the title of your idea to reflect the abilities to search and filter within this view and it's really good to have this detail from you of the specific fields and ways in which you'd make use of this change.
We'll begin feeling out the community interest on the idea here, and can…

In the Bills area, you can run a report to show bills not allocated to projects.
This feature is not reflected in the 'Invoice' area. Please can we have this available to show all invoices not allocated to a Project as well?Nicola McGuinness-Bell

In the projects area, the expenses area lists expenses at their original cost and doesn't include the discount given by that supplier. This means the expenses shown for the project aren't actually reflective of the true cost of the project.
There are currently no reports that allow you to see the company expenses, with discount, filtered by project so i can't actually report on the GP and net profit of a project without the painstaking process of clicking into every expense to find out the ACTUAL cost to the company less the discount given. We have suppliers who give up to a 50-60% discount so this is critical.
