Adding line items

When adding line items to an invoice, you can specify the following details for each line item:

  • Type: The type of the line item.
  • Unit: You can associate the line item with a unit. This is useful if you want to transfer the value of the line item to the owner of the unit. You must have a unit associated when the item type is Rent.
  • Description: A short description of the line item.
  • Unit price: The price of a single unit of the line item.
  • Tax rate: The tax rate for the line item.
  • Transfer behaviour: Determines how the value of the line item is transferred to an owner, if at all. You can customise the transfer behaviour for each line item you add. You must have a unit associated with the line item to use the Auto transfer behaviour.
    • Auto: transfers the value of the line item to the owner of the unit based on the unit’s ownership structure. The line item must have an associated unit.
    • Owner: transfers the value of the line item to a specified owner.
    • None: will not initate any transfers.
