Before creating a discount item, you must create a Sovos customization element with the following details:

Sovos Field ID: Sovos discount type (see step 5 for a list of discount types)
NetSuite Field Level: Item

Go to Lists > Accounting > Items > New.
In the Item Type column, click Discount.
In the Item Name/Number field, enter a name for the discount.
In the Rate field, enter the dollar amount or percentage that will be discounted from the transaction.
Rates should be positive values. If the Rate field has a negative value, you'll get an error when applying the discount to a transaction.
