Profit isn't related directly to the total price or to a discount: it's the amount left when you subtract the cost of manufacture and cost of sales from the price sold for.

So a discount will reduce profit, but you need to know the cost before you can work out by how much!

If you know the profit and the discount, you can't estimate what a "remaining profit" might be without knowing either the cost or the sales price.

Yes, I know the profit is (selling price - buying price) * quantity, so, when I discount the amount from the total invoice, I cannot do it for profit invoice?
However, I want it to discount each item automatically because I know how to get the profit for each good. As I mention, I want to discount each item.
