How to create a Discount?

[marcnyc]

I was wondering how I can create a discount in the lines of an invoice.
I used to be able to add a minus sign to create a discount, but now when entering a discount, I get an error that says “Invalid Number Entered”.

Thank you

The only way currently is to create a product record for the credit/discount. I know this is a hassle but in the meantime, I’ll look at what it takes to allow a negative amount on the invoice amount field.

My mistake on the previous message. I apparently had the negative product prior to change to globalization that introduced new validation logic. The logic builds a pattern for the allowed form of numbers and it does not include allowance for an amount sign. I’m trying to see what it will take to correct this.

Until I am able to make this change official, you can make the following modification to line 37 of the include/js/globalizedNumberValidator.js file. Make the line read as follows:
let pattern = '^-?';
This allows an optional leading minus sign on numeric fields.

Wonderful RRowley! Thank you for doing that!
