I would like to suggest adding a Discount Terms field to the Purchase Order screen in Sage 100, or otherwise allowing the vendor's discount terms to flow from the Purchase Order through to A/P Invoice Entry.

We have vendors who offer payment discount terms, such as 1% 10 Days ADF, Net 30. These terms are correctly entered in the vendor's 4-4 Vendor Maintenance record.

However, when we create a Purchase Order and later pull that PO into 4-2 A/P Invoice Data Entry, the vendor's discount terms do not carry over/apply to the invoice. This requires us to manually recognize and calculate the discount during invoice processing, creating an opportunity for discounts to be missed.

It would be helpful if Sage 100 could:

Include a Discount Terms field on the Purchase Order that defaults from the vendor's 4-4 Vendor Maintenance record.
Carry those terms forward when the Purchase Order is pulled into 4-2 A/P Invoice Data Entry.
Calculate or populate the applicable discount amount and discount date based on the invoice date and the vendor's terms.
Allow the PO discount terms to be overridden when a particular purchase order has different terms.

This would provide continuity from Vendor Maintenance → Purchase Order → A/P Invoice Entry and help ensure that vendor discounts are consistently recognized and not inadvertently lost during the PO-to-invoice process.

For companies processing a large volume of purchase orders and invoices, this would reduce manual review and help prevent missed early-payment discounts.
