Dear @idaoud

i have item like

```auto
      "itemId": 2,
      "documentId": 101,
      "itemName": "Mouse",
      "taxExclusivePrice": 40.00,
      "quantity": 2.00,
      "vatPercent": 15.00,
      "unitCode": "EA",
      "discount": 5.00,
      "taxAmount": 6.00,
      "taxInclusivePrice": 46.00,
      "unitPrice": 20.00

```

here the discount is 5, the tax excluded price , unit price is after discount,  
so is there any need to mention the discount.  
What will do with that discount,

My xml comes like

```auto
  <cac:InvoiceLine>
        <cbc:ID>2</cbc:ID>
        <cbc:InvoicedQuantity unitCode="EA">2.00</cbc:InvoicedQuantity>
        <cbc:LineExtensionAmount currencyID="SAR">40.00</cbc:LineExtensionAmount>
        <cac:TaxTotal>
            <cbc:TaxAmount currencyID="SAR">6.00</cbc:TaxAmount>
            <cbc:RoundingAmount currencyID="SAR">46.00</cbc:RoundingAmount>
        </cac:TaxTotal>
        <cac:Item>
            <cbc:Name>Mouse</cbc:Name>
            <cac:ClassifiedTaxCategory>
                <cbc:ID schemeID="UN/ECE 5305" schemeAgencyID="6">S</cbc:ID>
                <cbc:Percent>15.00</cbc:Percent>
                <cac:TaxScheme>
                    <cbc:ID>VAT</cbc:ID>
                </cac:TaxScheme>
            </cac:ClassifiedTaxCategory>
        </cac:Item>
        <cac:Price>
            <cbc:PriceAmount currencyID="SAR">20.00</cbc:PriceAmount>
            <cac:AllowanceCharge>
                <cbc:ChargeIndicator>false</cbc:ChargeIndicator>
                <cbc:AllowanceChargeReason>discount</cbc:AllowanceChargeReason>
                <cbc:Amount currencyID="SAR">5.00</cbc:Amount>
            </cac:AllowanceCharge>
        </cac:Price>
    </cac:InvoiceLine>

```

there is no effect for unit price, net price or document level values using this discount ?

Please help me

if **UNIT PRICE** is already discounted, which is **SAR 20**.  
You don’t need to Provide Discount which you already made and showing Unit Price after discount.

this is what i understand from your Question, if I am making any mistake kindly explain your question.

Thanks @Ather

What is the difference between

```auto
//Item Level Discount

```

and

```auto
//Unit Price Level Discount,

```

Is any of this discount is summarized and showing in document level?

> Item Level Discount

It’s generally applied after calculating the total amount for the specific item before and than Tax Calculation.

**Unit Price Level Discount**  
This discount is applied specifically to the unit price of an item, meaning it affects the price per individual unit before calculating the total price for the item

**Example**  
Like my Unit Price is SAR 211.54 and i didn’t give any discount on Unit Price  
but when i calculate total 211.54 \* 260 = 55,000.4 and now i decided to give 0.4 as discount, and then i calculated the Tax on 55,000.

Thanks @Ather

Understanding, Is this amount listing in document level, means adding all of this discounts (Allowance) then show it in invoice level?

I think no need of it. Is it correct?

don’t forget to add

`<cbc:AllowanceChargeReasonCode>CODE</cbc:AllowanceChargeReasonCode>`

you might get warnings without it.

if we added any unit price , item, document level discount . Did the

```

will change?

Hi @Ather ,  
If I am submitting a separate invoice only for discounts, how can I populate the xml file.  
For example, a sale has already made for 100SAR. Now the seller wants to provide discount for it after the sale is completed and it’s invoice has been cleared by zatca. Now the seller should submit a credit note for showing this discount.

Thanks in advance.
