How to specify discountrate as a percentage

edited Jun 2, 2025 2:42PM in Ask A Guru 2 comments

I've seen this question asked before but I have yet to see a reply that actually answers the question.

I am attempting to create a creditmemo using the REST API and wish to set the discountrate to -50%. This can be done using the UI as shown here:-

If I retrieve a record created using the UI, like the one above, using a restlet script the value returned in the discountrate field is -50%:-

but I can find no way of getting that value into the field from the API or a restlet script. The API rejects any non-numeric value, but if I specify -50 it treats that as a monetary amount, ie. -£50, not as a percentage.
