In finance and economics, discounting is the process of finding the present value of an amount of cash at some future date, and along with compounding cash forms the basis of time value of money calculations. The discounted value of a cash flow is determined by reducing its value by the appropriate discount rate for each unit of time between the time when the cashflow is to be valued to the times of the cash flow. Most often the discount rate is expressed as an annual rate (www. Wikipedia.ua).

Also you can configure the way your discount coupons are displayed at the main Orders page. There is a gray box at the top of all columns that says: "Drag a column header here to group by that column".
Whenever you drag any column header there, discount coupons will be grouped in Categories by this selection. You can Expand/Collapse any category by doubleclicking on it. When any category is opened, you'll be able to see full orders' description.
There's also a possibility to build a "category tree" using this filter type. Let's say you want all your orders to be grouped by Coupon type and each Coupon type by different Coupon amount. Then simply drag Coupon type header into the grey field and drop it behind Coupon amount. You can also set Coupon type as a category with subcategory Coupon amount. Just drop Coupon type ahead of Coupon amount and you’ll see the result.
When you drag Column header back into the table, its column of values will be placed where you drop it.
