Parameter Value Explanation

DATDEP = Date for the Calculation of Discounts

  • Invoice Date – the date of the invoice is used to calculate the discount date ‘range’. This is how we typically calculate the discount date range in the US.
  • Due Date – the due date of the invoice is used to calculate the eligible discount date.

AUTDEPCUS = Automated Calc AR Discount Taken

  • Yes – when this parameter value is set to ‘Yes’, the early discount is calculated and the discount line is generated according to the discount rate set up for the open item.
  • No – when this parameter value is set to ‘No’, there is no early discount calculated and generated. You will need to enter it manually.

DENDEP = Customer Early Payment/ Discount

  • CDISC – use this parameter to define the accounting destination to be linked to the discount line of the generated payment.
