However, NetSuite may restrict certain types of accounts from being used in specific contexts. From the conversations, it seems that NetSuite only allows you to select an "Income" account for the Sales Discount Account (under Setup > Accounting > Accounting Preferences). A workaround suggested in the threads is to periodically journal the amounts using the resources available to you. For VAT or GST considerations, it's important to note that these taxes are typically applied after all other calculations, including discounts. Therefore, there isn't a concept of a discount in the tax world as tax is not your money to discount. This may vary by country, but it's mostly correct. If you need to record non-inventory or expense lines in a PO, there is a preference you need to enable. Navigate to Setup > Accounting > Accounting Preferences > Order Management tab > Purchasing > Allow Expenses on Purchases. This preference will display an Expense subtab in your PO which allows you to select Expense GL lines from PO where you may also bill from PO. Please note that these are general guidelines and the exact steps may vary based on your specific NetSuite setup and requirements.
