An invoice discount approval record states what a deduction applies to and who authorized it. It differs from an early-payment offer: this record controls fixed and percentage operations on an eligible draft subtotal, with no assumption that the client has qualified for a payment-timing incentive.
Preserve the eligible line set, exclusions and order. A fixed deduction applied before a percentage changes that percentage's base. Record the actual agreement rather than choosing whichever comparison leaves the lower total. Keep tax applicability and issued-invoice adjustments outside the operation comparison.
The fictional USD 1,000 eligible subtotal receives proposed 10% and USD 100 deductions. Percentage then fixed leaves USD 800; fixed then percentage leaves USD 810. The record captures the authorized operation and final draft check, so the arithmetic difference is not mistaken for permission.

How to complete the template
Define eligibility and authority
Identify included lines, excluded expenses, currency, amount basis and actual approval. Keep pending proposals separate from accepted terms.
Record the operations precisely
State fixed amount, percentage, order and rounding points. Confirm neither operation exceeds its remaining base, with a worked calculation beside the rule.
Review the invoice application
Match approved discounts to the eligible line set and draft version. Resolve any mismatch before release, preserving the authority reference.

Avoid this
Applying the deduction to every charge
A discount may exclude expenses or another service. Keep the eligible subtotal reproducible.
Avoid this
Silently capping an excessive discount
The companion tool rejects a fixed amount that cannot fit both scenarios. Resolve terms and eligibility instead of hiding the mismatch.

Questions people usually have before changing the workflow.
Does a tool result approve a discount?
No. Record the actual decision under your client and internal approval process.
Is tax treatment decided here?
No. Confirm it independently and retain that reference with the draft review.
Can this change an issued invoice?
Use the approved correction process for issued documents. A pre-issue discount record does not overwrite the original.
