Example

Suppose that you have an invoice total of 105.00 and an obtainable cash discount of 10.50. The amount to be paid considering the cash discount is then 94.50, but the amount that you actually pay to the vendor is 95.00.

If you set this parameter to Unspecific, the invoice will be settled, and the difference of 0.50 will automatically be posted to the ledger account specified for cash discount differences. If you set this parameter to Specific, the invoice will be settled, and the difference of 0.50 will automatically be posted to the account selected in the Settle accountfield on the Setuptab in the Posting profiles form.
