how do i create an invoice with a percentage discount in it

How do I enter a discount on a invoice of 30% after the gst has been calculated?

Have you created the discount item? That would be your first step. You can then apply it to the invoice. Easy peasy lemon squeezy

Hi Sandra,
Further to what Kevin has said, you can create a discount item as a percentage and if you put the GST tax code in the item it will reduce both the amount and the GST on the invoice.

Further to what I said and then Sally said I'm pretty sure there's a support note on the knowledge base about this exact issue.

Shame it shows this is their application Help tool Index:  "discounts, for early customer payments" .... results list says "This feature is not available".   How hard is it really to create a unique data element that allows you to insert the disc amount e.g.  2.5%, then this field applies it to all the line items above, or even simpler, the Total on the invoice.  

We all want payments in earlier, and this is a way to facilitate it.  Come on Reckon, I've been asking for this for 2 years now.

Even if you used the "%Discount" option on line items, the Reckon prompt clearly says DO NOT USE THIS FOR CUSTOMER EARLY PAYMENT DISCOUNTS".    Shame.
