Shogo can handle discounts in 3 different ways handle discounts, based on the availability of the discount breakout options provided by your POS provider.  Shogo can net discounts, post gross sales with discounts posted separately by category or post gross sales with discounts posted separately by reason/purpose.  The discount handling is set in your store settings at Settings>Stores. Navigate to the Store Preferences section. If you would like to change the settings, click the edit button and select Discounts Handling to select your preference. Click Save to save changes.

 

Below are examples:

Each example uses Food Sales of 60, Beverage Sales of 10, Food Discount of 5 because of a Kitchen error

1). net your discounts with their category sales
Food Sales: (55)
Beverage Sales: (10)

2). post gross sales with discounts posted separately by sales category
Food Sales: (60)
Beverage Sales: (10)
Food Sales Discounts: 5

OR
3). post gross sales with discounts posted separately by reason/purpose
Food Sales: (60)
Beverage Sales: (10)
Kitchen Error Discount: 5

 

*** Option 3 is not available for QuickBooks Online Canada. Shogo has to net discounts for the GST reporting.  

Mapping your Discounts

You can map your discounts by going to Settings>Accounting>View Details (if multiple locations exist), and navigating to the Discounts section of the mapping. You will have the option to set defaults for your discounts:

You can assign different accounts to specific line items. All other items will be assigned your default and any new line item will automatically have the defaults applied.
