The rate is what is charged on the line, the discount section is for any coupons or other discounts that are taken off the charged amount.
So if you normal charge $85/hour and on this job line you charged:
1.0 $76.50
Then that is the amount to enter. If you charged.
1.0 $85.00
less 8.50 coupon
Then put that in the discount column. Normally the discount column is used to allocate a coupon that was offered on the entire ticket, and in those cases I do a straight-percentage basis, unless stated otherwise by the accounting details.
