The discount amount appears positive after the midyear 2024.

Discount amounts are technically stored as negative values at the transaction level, as they represent a reduction in value. In Business Analytics Reports, the system applies standard semantic sign handling and therefore displays discount amounts as positive values for better readability and reporting consistency.

This behavior is standard and expected, it appears after system updates or analytics framework adjustments.

Note:

• The underlying transaction data has not changed.
• This is a display-only behavior in Analytics.
• There is no impact on external systems or integrations.
