# Manufacturer discounts

Learn how to handle manufacturer discounts using a negative line amount and the appropriate tax code.

When working with discounts provided by a 3rd party (for example, a manufacturer coupon), include a line with a negative amount. In this line, include the tax code for Coupons (third party) - `OC030000`.
