Under the heading Penalties
Cuando se incumplan los indicadores especificados dentro de los rangos descritos se aplicará la siguiente fórmula para el cálculo de los importes a descontar en la facturación, para cada línea de servicio y mes:
Penalización= Importe facturación línea servicio * (Suma de Niveles de Penalización)
En el caso de que no haya incumplimiento de utilizará un nivel de penalización (NP) de 0
For me it means "the amounts to be deducted in the invocies" but this does not make sense 9n the context of penalties for not complying with deadlines. Can descontar mean to charge?

: (D. de la Lengua Castellana) descontar = rebajar una cantidad al pagar -> to be deducted; importe = cantidad a que asciende el valor de una cosa -> sum, figure? (se refiere a un sliding scale', creo.)

the amount to be discounted in the invoices
descontar= discount

: My only quibble would be that I'd put "amounts" rather than "amount" and "on" rather than "in".

: discount is a positive reduction - like a sale, here you need a negative reduction

: los importes a descontar en la facturación -> the amounts/sums to be deducted in the invoicing process, when invoicing, when issuing the invoices o algo así

: I suspect "penalties" is might be slight overtranslation. Also, it seems the original is a nominal phrase without a verb, not a sentence on its own. So why the "will be"? A discount is not just a "positive reduction" (as you put it).

: 'los importes a descontar' como una frase fija? which will be/which are to be/which must be deducted, sí, IMO, se puede entenderlo como (penalty)deductions/reductions which are to be applied, por qué no
