Disabling Cash Discounts

Our company is not using the JDE cash discount functionality for two reasons. One, we want to post cash discounts at time of invoicing, and second, the calculation of the discount varies depending on the division selling the product. Certain division base the cash discount on the gross amount of the invoice and other divisions base the calculation on the net amount of the invoice (after promotions). Because of this, we are using advanced pricing to calculate and book the discounts. This piece works fine.

The problem is that we would like to continue to use the discount and due date functionality to properly age the invoices. We set up new terms code with discount days and dues days but no discount percentage. Now, when the system generates the invoice, it computes its own cash discount as zero (which is want we want it to do), but since it is zero, the system disregards the discounts days and sets the discount due date to the same date as the due date which we don't want it to do.

If we put a percentage in the discount percetnage field of the terms, the system will compute the proper discount due date but causes problems in AR when they go to post remittances against the invoice. The system attempts to take that discount at that time not knowing that we already took the discount at time of invoicing.

It there a way to get the system to calculate the discount date properly even though we are not using the normal discount funcationality to compute the cash discount amount?
