  4. Save the invoice.

  5. Create a payment for the amount due. Note: In the case of certain “Free Item” promotions, this may only be a small sales tax amount.

  6. Save and close the invoice and payment.

Coupon Redemption Reports #

Some types of coupons are sold through a third-party, such as Groupon or Living Social. In these cases, you need to create redemption reports you can submit to the seller for payment. This is done through Utilities > Export Promotional Data.
