Is it possible to add a line on the invoice template between Subtotal and Tax that will show any discounts applied? I can't figure out how to add a row of dynamic data to my template.

Hello? MC? Any thoughts on this. I'm assessing this tool via the trial offer and I have this question too!

Billings is an excellent program with many bugs that are largely unaddressed by a really crappy support staff. Chances are, you will not hear from them on this forum, or by sending them a direct email. Again, though, this is a great program with excellent potential, if I could only figure out how to use it properly.

My solution for adding discounts is to add a new quantity slip called (you guessed it) Discount, and apply a negative price to it.

It isn't exactly what you are looking for, but it *does* work.

How do you add a negative rate????

Hmm.
I just posted a new topic on this point.
We'll see if there's any further action.
Seems like a bug that the content of the "Rate" field is not available. The Data Row var that's CALLED Rate/Price actually shows up as "...ratePlusMarkupMinusDiscount"

Any real and clear solutions here?

This should be much easier.

I am just trying to add a DISCOUNT line on the invoice based on a discount that I have added in the working slip itself...

The same goes for Markup. For the life of me I don't understand why none of invoice templates lists discounts or markups. It all seems to counted in rate/price. While a slip clearly prompts please enter discount or markup, however we will not let you to show it on the invoice. I just bought this app. when I found this absolutely atrocious flaw. Keep trying to add fields in template, the data does not show up!

Hi all, through some trial and error I found a solution to this issue. One should already understand how to add and modify dynamic text fields.

The syntax you need to add into your dynamic text field in the "TAInvoiceSummary" table is:
parent.parent.parent.parent.parent.parent.reportData.object.discountTotal
This will tally all your discounts from each slip in your invoice.

If you want to add discounts totals for each slip in the slip summary table ("TAInvoiceSummary"):
parent.reportData.object.derivedDiscountTotal
This will itemize the discount total per Slip in the summary. (remember to format as a currency)

One item of note regarding the "TAInvoiceSummary" Table. I've been unable to discover a way to add additional rows to the table so you may be forced to replace one of the current rows with this information. There is most likely an easy solution to adding rows but my total experience with this software amounts to about 2 days now. Maybe someone else here does?

Secondly, the syntax noted has only been used in tables where similar data is being displayed. Trying to add these else where may or may not work. I am not familiar enough with the system to say one way or another.

Hopefully this is the answer you've been looking for.
