Is Percent - Selecting this option will change the discount amount from a fixed rand value to a percentage of the order that the
discount is being applied to.
When deciding if the discount is going to be a value or a percentage discount, keep the following points in mind:
Percentage invoice discounts will only be applied to the invoice as a whole based on items that have not been
discounted by line item discounts.
Value invoice discounts will only applied if the invoice total is greater than the discount amount.
In other words; If each item has a line item discount of any type, a percentage based invoice discount will not do
anything, only a value based invoice discount will work.
