The vendor discount box is useless -- I would bet that few or none of Sage users actually use this set up. We apply a discount at the time of payment, which means that when I pay a vendor which may have 20-100 materials invoices, I have to create a negative (unbillable) 4-2 invoice to include at the time of payment. I've created a dummy job to apply all discounts to, in order to job cost it.
Please just allow the user to add a discount amount, at time of payment that doesn't apply to each invoice as a percentage.

We use the discount box all the time as it is calculated per invoice
We also use the discount box all the time. When you're entering the AP invoice, the discount doesn't post to the GL until payment is being made, which is when the discount is actually being taken. That's when the discount is posted to the GL. It wouldn't make sense to post the discount when the AP invoice is entered because you could be past the discount DATE and not be eligible for the discount.
