Convert Offer Discounts to Enrolment Credits

This setting determines how discounts applied at the Offer stage are carried through when the Offer is accepted and enrolment invoices are generated.

  • When disabled
    Discounts are applied directly to the invoice amounts without creating separate credits.
    Example:

    • Offer: Course $200.00, Discount $50.00, Total $150.00

    • Invoice created: $150.00

  • When enabled
    CREDIT - Discount entries are created on enrolment invoices to reflect the discounts.
    Example:

    • Offer: Course $200.00, Discount $50.00, Total $150.00

    • Invoice created: $200.00 with a CREDIT - Discount entry of $50.00 applied.

This option determines whether agent credits or tax credits can be transferred between a student’s enrolments.
