Order Entry:

  • Retail Price - this displays the Before Discount Retail Unit Price (MSRP).
  • Discounted Price - this displays the Discounted Price (MSRP + Standard Discount).
  • Item Discount - this displays the amount of the Additional Line Item discount to be calculated, i.e., $10 or 10%. However, if you want to display this field, the additional line item discount has to be applied using the same discount method as was used to format the report. The Item Discount display cannot be changed on the fly in the software.
  • Item Discount Amount - this displays the calculated amount of the Additional Line Item discount.
  • Unit Price - this displays the Item Price per unit.
  • Total Price - this displays the total price of the line item (Item Price x Quantity).

  3. Highlight the report you want to edit and click Modify.
  4. On the Layout tab, click Line Items.

  6. To change an existing field, highlight the field and select the new field from the Data field drop-down list on the right-hand side of the display fields.
  7. Change the heading and format the field accordingly. You may need to adjust the Field Width to ensure all fields display correctly.
  8. To add or remove a field, click the appropriate button - Add Field or Remove Field. Repeat Step 7 to format new fields.
  9. To re-sequence the fields so that they display in the proper order, use the Up and Down arrows.
  10. To add additional fields such as Options from Order Entry, i.e., Room Location - in the Data Field, enter [Room Location]. Note: The option name must be spelled exactly as you see it in Order Entry enclosed in square brackets.
