Rejecting a Discount Request, and Revoking One Already Approved

Rejecting and revoking are two different actions on two different kinds of discount — a pending request that hasn't taken effect yet, versus one that's already approved (or even applied to an invoice) and needs to be undone.

Rejecting a pending request

01

Go to Money → Discounts.

02

Find the pending request and choose Reject.

03

Type a rejection reason — it's required; the save is blocked with nothing entered.

04

Choose Reject request.

A rejected request never touched the invoice in the first place, so there's nothing to recompute — rejecting just closes out the request with the reason on record.

Revoking a discount that's already approved

Approved and applied discounts show in the Discounts queue's decided history, each with a Revoke? option where it's available. What revoking actually does depends on what's already happened to the invoice it's sitting on:

  • Not yet sent, and nothing paid against it: revoking fully lifts the discount off the invoice, and the invoice's line items, subtotal, and total recompute immediately to reflect it being gone.
  • Already sent, or already paid against — and the discount is recurring: revoking only stops it from carrying forward into future invoices. The current invoice's numbers, already sent or paid, are left exactly as they are.
  • Already sent or paid, and the discount is a one-off (not recurring): it genuinely cannot be revoked through this action at all — Fees101 returns an error that the invoice has already been sent or paid against, so the discount can no longer be removed.
Sibling discounts can't be revoked through this action at all, at any point — they're auto-applied and recalculated from your discount policy's tiers, not something an individual revoke targets.
If a parent already received an invoice with a discount that turns out to be wrong, revoking a recurring one only protects future invoices — the current one stays as sent. If it genuinely needs correcting too, that correction has to be made separately (regenerate the invoice, or handle the difference as a credit/refund) rather than assuming the revoke already fixed it.
