I have an individual order and plan on giving the customer a 10% discount, how do I go about doing this? Do I put it under my name and give her my past host discount?
Thanks in advance for any responses.
 
My director always told me to figure out what 10% was by hand and add that amount as a consultant gift. For example. Her total is $55.00, so you would put in a payment under consultant gift for $5.50, and she would be responsible for the rest. Hope that helps
 
I agree with Jenelle...this also serves as proof of a tax write off!
 
Yup.. put it in as a consultant gift and it also comes up as so on the receipt too when you print it out from P3.
 
That's what I do.
 
Ditto - I do that too.......easier for me to do it that way....my SD told me I shouldn't do that, but then said they she doesn't track her expenses in P3.
I don't know how she does it, but it's just SO much easier to track expenses in PP. JMHO..
