Applying Discounts to an Invoice
When creating an invoice in Boulevard, two types of discounts are available: Percent or Flat. Discounts may be applied to individual line items or to the invoice as a whole. Each discount may also be assigned a label, such as Birthday/Anniversary, Preferred Customer, or Hostess Credit.
Updated Feature for Boulevard 2026, releasing August 8, 2025!
The default discount label is set to Standard; however, another option may be designated as the default, and custom discount labels may also be created.
- Begin
creating an invoice and add items using either the 
Lookup button to view past purchases or all items from the product list. Or use the search feature in the Description field to drill down and search by partial description or part number. - Decide which type of discount you want to apply: a percentage or a flat dollar amount. If you are giving a flat dollar amount, in the Discount section on the Details tab, select Flat (by default, Percent is selected). Please note that the two kinds of discounts cannot be combined.
-
To apply a discount to the entire invoice, enter an amount in the field next to the discount selected (Percent or Flat). To apply a discount to an individual item, enter the amount in the Discount field of the invoice grid for that item.
-
The Standard label will be used as the default discount type. You can choose a different label from the drop-down menu in the Discount section, or select
to create a new custom label.
Finish the invoice by adding any additional options, such as shipping, a note, time spent, and payment information. Choose to Print or Email, then select 
Save.
