How do I apply a discount?

Express Invoice uses an extra column in the item list of the Invoice dialog to display discounts for each individual item. By default, this column is not shown.

To enable the discount column, follow these steps:

1. Click the Options button on the toolbar.
2. Select Invoice from the list on the left.
3. Select the box next to Show Discount column and save the new setting by clicking OK.

When you create a new invoice, the discount column will now show. Simply enter the discount amount as a percentage in the discount column of the item to be discounted. For example, enter a value '10', this is equal to 10%, no need for a decimal or the '%' sign.

This discount is recorded as a percentage of the item's original value. For example, a book with a price of $30, would be $27 with a %10 discount. You will see the discount immediately in the Total column.
