The Discount Type window lets you specify whether the discount is a credit to the account, a bonus, or a charge.

Select a Discount Type:
Credit - If selected, the customer receives a certain amount of money back.
When configuring a volume discount where Type = Credit, there is a checkbox option to not apply the discount when the account has a past due balance. The option is called Do Not Apply with Past Due Balance. It defaults to unchecked (apply regardless of past due balance).
When checked:
When there is an unpaid amount on an invoice that is past due for the account, the discount is NOT applied
When there is no past due invoice with an outstanding unpaid amount for the account, the discount is applied
Note
An account is considered as having a past due balance if there is an unpaid amount on an invoice that is past due. Good payment standing status (if implemented) is NOT considered when determining whether or not an account is past due.
Bonus - If selected, the customer receives a certain amount of the specified units. Select a bonus type from the list.
Note
When Bonus is used for a volume discount, it is managed manually outside the IDI platform . A report can be run to retrieve the appropriate information from the IDI platform.
Reward Points - If selected, the customer receives points which can be accumulated and redeemed for POS purchases or tendering a bill payment.
