			There is an important difference between using a fee/discount vehicle and entering fee/discount at bottom of the schedule.

	~~e.g~~ a schedule has ~~two vehicles of different~~ media types ~~(∴ diff media~~ income a/c), ~~you want to apply 10% doc level~~ discount ~~but you want~~ the ~~10% amounts to go to each~~		In a schedule that has multiple media types with different income and cost accounts, when you enter fee/discount at the bottom of the schedule, the fee/discount amount is distributed across all the income and cost accounts involved.

	of the vehicle~~'s media type~~ income accounts ~~(and not into the 'Other Media' income A~~/c).		Whereas, if you enter the fee/discount as a new vehicle line, the fee/discount amount will reflect only in the income and cost accounts of that fee/discount vehicle.

	So create ~~disc~~/~~fee~~ vehicles ~~applicable to~~ each media type:		So if the fee/discount MUST be distributed across all media types used in the schedule, then you must create separate fee/discount vehicles for each media type.

	~~Veh line 1: GUNE - Gulf News (Newspaper Income A/c) Net 1000.00~~

	~~Veh line 2: GURA - Gulf Radio (Radio Income A/c) Net 2000.00~~

	~~Veh line 3: DFNE - Disc/Fee (Newspaper) Discount of -5% on 1000.00 = Net: -50.00~~

	~~Veh line 4: DFRA - Disc/Fee (Radio) Discount of -5% on 2000.00 = Net: -100~~.00
