Show discount taken on supplier remittance

I just applied a discount for prompt payment for the first time to a supplier. I was surprised that the PDF remittance didn't show that the discount had been applied.

I'm guessing you'd have to manually create a credit note (even though one wasn't received) however this was for an EC purchase Business to Business invoice. It would be helpful if PDF remittances showed the value of the discount otherwise it just looks like you've underpaid.

    Seems to be no movement on this in nearly 3 years - how hard can it be to amend the code generating the PDF to add a discount column to the remittance advice? It is getting tedious having to explain to the supplier that you have taken a discount and not underpaid.

    Agreed. I only just started using this software recently. First of all I had to report that the remittance system wasn't working, then after however many weeks, it worked and I couldn't believe it - no discount shown! This is a clear case of these people not actually knowing about accounts, just programming.
