OK, if it's needed by the "gumment", but on the Purchases tab it has a "Purchase Discount Account". This won't work??

Accounts Payable Account:
21010001 Accounts Payable
Purchase Account:
Use Item Inventory/COGS Account
Purchase Discount Account:

In RSA you have to declare Discounts received from a supplier and discounts Given to Clients.

As a seller, you can of course provide a discount to a purchaser, hence #6 in Direct Invoice.
As a purchaser, you do not get to set the discount so it's irrelevant. In the States, your cost is your cost. Vendor A sells Wiget X for $20. Vendor B sells Wiget X (similar) for $22, but discounts it $2. I'm really not interested in tracking "so called" discounts on items purchased. Sales is a different story.

Cheers.

@seahawk
Have you considered adding a GL Item to the Supplier Invoice. The Discounts Received account is 5060 in the demo COA (US COA). With this you can add Total Discount to invoices but not to direct ones. Give it a try. I like it.
