When you apply a discount to an invoice, Wave takes care of the accounting for you.

The first time you approve an invoice with a discount, Wave will create an account called Sales Discounts. This account is located in your Chart of Accounts under the Income tab.

Discounts appear as negative amounts on your Profit & Loss Report because they reduce your income.
