Grant a collection reduction
You can grant a default collection reduction to your debtors. The collection discount is an amount or a percentage that applies to all collection orders. The collection reduction is calculated over the total invoice amount including VAT. If you want to grant a default collection reduction to your debtors, you can set this up in the administration settings.
If you settle credit notes in the collection orders, you can also calculate the discount over the credit notes. This, too, you can specify in the administration settings.
Example: Collection reduction based on a fixed discount amount
Suppose you must collect three invoices and settle one credit note with a debtor and per invoice a discount of € 2.50 is deducted.
- There is a discount for credit notes: 3 invoices + 1 credit note = 4 invoices * €2.50 = €10.00.
- The discount does not apply to credit notes: 3 invoices * € 2.50 = € 7.50.
Example: Collection reduction based on a fixed discount percentage
- Suppose you must collect three invoices for a total amount of €10,000 from a debtor and settle one credit note for an amount of €2,000. A collection reduction of 2 % is given.
- There is a discount for credit notes: 2% * €10,000 = €200.00.
- The discount does not apply to credit notes: € 10,000.00 -/- € 2,000.00 = € 8,000.00. 2% * € 8,000.00 = € 160.00
