Price reduction discounts

With price reduction discounts, the discount occurs before sending the request to AvaTax for a tax calculation. For example, if an item has a cost of $100, and you want to apply a $10 discount, simply enter $90 for the amount of the item instead of $100. This is the simplest method for handling a discount because it doesn't involve any additional fields or lines in the request. Notice with this method, though, there is no way to determine that you applied a discount. You only know the discounted sale price of the transaction. In this case, consider adding a reference (ref1) to the line item of the transaction to indicate that it includes a discount.
