As shown in the invoice item row, the Price List Rate is ₹3,778.97, but after applying a discount of ₹1,000, the Rate becomes ₹2,778.97 and the Amount also shows ₹2,778.97.
This creates confusion because:
-
The Rate and Amount appear the same
-
It is not clearly visible how much discount was applied
-
The original item price (Price List Rate) is not easily understood during review
In real billing scenarios, we need to clearly differentiate between:
-
Original Price (Price List Rate)
-
Discount Given
-
Final Selling Rate / Amount
When the rate automatically reduces along with the discount, it becomes difficult for:
-
Accounts team to verify discounts
-
Management to review pricing
-
Customers to understand the bill properly
To avoid this confusion and improve transparency, the Rate field should remain editable, while the Price List Rate stays as a reference, and the discount is shown separately.
This will ensure clear billing, accurate accounting, and better explanation to customers.
