Allow a discount in AR cash receipts to be posted to a direct job expense account.

Currently the AR transaction codes only allow non-direct cost GL account numbers for the G/L discount taken code. We'd like for this field to accept direct cost codes and then prompt the user for the applicable job, phase and CT when entering an AR cash receipt using this transaction code and applying a discount.

Currently, we have a company that wants to apply customer discounts that are taken as a cost against the jobs that are paid. The only way to handle this currently is to discount to an indirect GL code and then perform a journal entry to move the costs, debiting the discount taken code and crediting a job expense account. These extra steps could be avoided if there was a way to designate a transaction code to charge to a direct job cost.
