AllowanceCharge

Use the AllowanceCharge element to model allowances and charges.

General information is provided in the Allowances and Charges topics.

Use the InvoiceLine/AllowanceCharge element to specify an Allowance or Charge at the Line level.

You use the Amount element to specify the total amount. You can use this alone, or you can also add a percentage and a base amount.
