820 Sales value Gross VAT 600.00  
Sales price * Quantity

50.00 * 12 = 600.00

821 Line discount VAT   30.00
Sales price * Quantity * Discount on order line

50.00 * 12 * 0.05 = 30.00

((Sales price * Quantity) – (Sales price * Quantity * Discount on order line)) * Order discount on order header

((50.00 * 12) – (50.00 * 12 * 0.05)) * 0.10 = 57.00

(Sales value Gross VAT – Line discount VAT – Order discount VAT) * VAT percentage of VAT handling code

(in SEK): (600.00 – 30.00 – 57.00) * 0.25 = 128.25

In this example the figures are:

Total net sales value in SEK: 600.00 – 30.00 – 57.00 = 513.00
Postage: 80.00
Total VAT amount: 128.25 + 20.00 = 148.25
Total in SEK: 513.00 + 80.00 + 148.25 = 741.25
Invoice total in SEK: 741.00
Coin adjustment in SEK: -741.25 – (-741.00) = -0.25
