The leading practice for discounts is to post all discount, promotion, and/or coupon amount to a generic discount item on the order header in NetSuite. With this approach, this will ensure that the discount total on the order will post to NetSuite which will result in the correct order total. Posting the discount to the order header allows the discount total to show up in the order summary in NetSuite so you can easily view the discount on the order.

 Note: If you install the FarApp NetSuite bundle the generic discount item will be created for you and the configured in FarApp making the following procedures on this page unnecessary. If you choose to install the bundle you can skip the remainder of the procedures on this page and see this article to install the bundle https://support.farapp.com/hc/en-us/articles/360043216673-Installing-the-FarApp-NetSuite-bundle
