Use these steps to modify (Void, Delete, Discount, Note, etc.) items from an invoice.
- Open an invoice by clicking Pay, Add Charges, or Refund.
- Next to the item you wish to modify, click the Pencil [
] symbol (If there is no Pencil [
] your invoice may be locked; see below) which will display several options. Like this:
- Delete Item: This will remove it entirely from the invoice as if it were never there.
- Void Item: Voiding an item will add a new invoice line item but with a negative (-) charge. This will keep the original item on the invoice and is great for indicating that a charge was previously present but now is being reversed. If you wish to void an entire invoice, follow these steps.
- Add Note: Add a note that will display on the invoice.
- Discount Item: Can discount an item by 4 different Units:
- Cash: would discount the specific dollar amount that was entered
- Example: if you have a line item of 3 Bags of Ice that have a Sales Price of $5 per item, setting a discount of Cash=1 would give a discount of $1
- Quantity: this would discount a specific Quantity of the line item(s)
- Example: if you have a line item of 3 Bags of Ice that have a Sales Price of $5 per item, setting a discount of Quantity=1 would give a discount of $5
- Percent: this would discount a specific percent of the Invoice Line
- Example: if you have a line item of 3 Bags of Ice that have a Sales Price of $5 per item, setting a discount of Percent=10 would give a discount of $1.50 [3 x 5 X .10]
- Cash Per Item: this would discount a specific dollar amount per item on the invoice line
- Example: if you have a line item of 3 Bags of Ice that have a Sales Price of $5 per item, setting a discount of CashPerItem=1 would give a discount of $3 [3 x 1]
- NOTE: If you need to remove an existing discount, you would select the Amount of '0' and Unit 'Cash'
- Cash: would discount the specific dollar amount that was entered
- Override Price: Can override the price of an item.
- Change Quantity: Change the quantity of an invoice line item.
- Override Tax and Account: Override tax and account of of an invoice line item.
- When done editing the invoice, click Save to Account.
