Adding an Invoice Line Item

Video Tip - Go to the 2:25 mark of the video to view information on how to add Invoice Line Items.

You can add an unlimited number of line items to an Invoice, and these line items will be automatically added up to provide the total at the bottom of the Invoice.

You can add the following details to an Invoice line item:

• Item name
• Item date
• Category assignment (if applicable)
• Quantity/hours - Must be at least "1" to calculate a subtotal for the item
• Unit cost
• Markup/discount (as a percentage) - For discount (negative amount), use a hyphen (e.g., -2.25).
• Sales tax rate (as a percentage) - You can either select one of the preset tax rates (that you can manage in the Settings area of your account) or set a custom rate for the item.
• Item description

• Import a Food-&-Beverage package template into an invoice by clicking on the "Food/Beverage Packages" button in the line items area, selecting the "Import Food/Beverage Packages Templates" option and following the instructions, or;
• Go to the Food-&-Beverage tool inside your event; add a new Food-&-Beverage package or import a package template; and when you are in the Package details page, go to the "Link to Proposals & Invoices" area and link the package to the invoice in question.
