Discount Item is a lookup field in NetSuite. So, we need to pass the Internal ID of the Discount Item to NetSuite while creating the Sales Order. 

### Getting the Internal ID

You can find the Discount Item's Internal Id in Salesforce by the following steps:

1. Go to the NetSuite Items tab
2. Search the Discount items (filter on Type field - "Discount")
3. Open the NetSuite Item record page
4. Go to the Additional Information section (find the "Internal Id")

Ensure that the Item is **active.**

### Adding  it to the Button URL

Once you have the Internal Id of a Discount Item record, you can pass it to Breadwinner either as a field that contains the Internal ID or as raw data within the Custom URL itself without creating any fields (only an appropriate choice if you always use the same value).

:::CodeblockTabs
Button URL (Field Value)

```none
&discount_item=discount_item_api_field__c
```

Button URL(Static Value)

```none
&discount_item=1
```
:::

The Discount Item will have a default discount rate. If you still want to pass a custom rate/amount (override default), you can do it by passing the rate in the Custom URL as below:

:::CodeblockTabs
Button URL (Field Value)

```none
&discount_rate=discount_rate_api_field__c
```
:::

:::hint{type="info"}
For the Discount Rate, pass the number values only. To have the discount subtracted from your total, pass a negative amount (for example -10.00) or a negative percentage (for example -10%).
