Discount treatment on the E-Invoicing FIRS layout

SunMori

Hi support & experts,

We're using SAP system in our ERP, we have discount on the transaction of the Sales Invoice to our customer, how we input the discount in the e-invoice API, since we have discount in line item and discount in total amount of sales.

We have tried to submit the data to FIRS, but we're cannot found the discount field for the total discount in the FIRS portal, since this is will reflect into the E-invoice layout preview in the FIRS portal. We cannot see discount section on it layout.

Anyone can help or share how we input the discount for this, since after previewing the layout on the portal there are no discount section on it.

Kindly share regarding the discount for this concern.

Thank you

Dear SunMori

You can apply discounts in two ways:

Line-level discount using the discount_amount field.
Document-level discount using the allowance_charge field.

For detailed guidance, please refer to the schema documentation:

We have tested, but the discount is not displayed in the 'Signed Invoice' menu, we try on the eInvoice -> Invocie details.
When we choose the data, but the discount column was not appearing there.

How we can get this clarification, or is there something we're missing?
Kindly help.

Thank you.

Dear SunMori,

We assumed you are referring to the rendered version of the invoice on the FIRSMBS portal.

The rendered version on the portal picked some relevant information to display, which is why we encourage taxpayers to also render the invoice according to their preference. You may connect with a system integrator to help you with this.
