Allowances and charges can be specified at the Document (Invoice) or Line (Invoice Line) level.

An Allowance is a reduction in the total amount, such as a discount, and is described in the Allowances topic.

A Charge is an increase in the total amount and is described in the Charges topic.

Both allowances and charges can use total amounts or percentages, as described in the Amounts topic.
