What this tab is for
The Discounts tab is the audit trail for every discount: daily totals, every single application with who applied it and when, and the discounts that were later cancelled off bills.
The tables
1. Discounts | by Day
One row per day summarising discounting: how many orders had a discount, the split between order-level discounts ("Order Disc") and item-level discounts ("Item Disc"), and the total value given away. "Disc" abbreviates discount throughout.
2. Discounts | by each Discount
One row per discount application, newest first:
Order Number / Receipt Number / Reporting Date / Order Date — which order, on which business day, opened when.
Discount Time — when the discount was actually applied. Comparing this to Order Date shows whether it was applied at ordering or later at settlement.
Type — Item (a single line was discounted) or Order (the whole bill).
Discount Name / Discount Amount — which discount and how much it took off.
Applier / Applier Role — the staff member who applied it and their role. This is the column to check when reviewing discount discipline.
Status — active, or cancelled if it was later removed.
3. Cancelled Discounts | by each Discount
Exactly the same layout, filtered to discounts that were applied and then cancelled — removed from the bill before it closed. Frequent rows here can mean staff correcting mistakes, or discount misuse worth reviewing.
Definitions
Discount Amount is the value taken off the bill; in the Totals table on Sales Summary the same money appears in the "Disc" column.
Cancelled discounts do not reduce sales — they were reversed, so the bill closed without them.
The Applier resolves from the staff profile; an email shows only when the account has no name saved.
What this tab does NOT show
Which items were discounted the most over time — Discount Summary on Sales Summary gives per-discount totals.
Cancelled orders/items — the Cancellations tab (different thing from a cancelled discount).
