Invoice items

Invoice items are transactions that are manually added to an invoice through the Smile user interface or externally through a custom application using the Smile API.

Invoice items contain the following information:

• item code and description
• sales report category
• rate, unit size and display rate
• discounts
• approval limits
• tax status

Invoice items let you specify how a charge is displayed on an invoice. For example, you can specify that multiple charges for an invoice item are grouped into a single line, or that an invoice item of zero value is not printed on an invoice. To help you track costs, you must assign each invoice item to a sales report category.
