Thanks @lubos. I have Updated to Later version and the following link helps to see the Latest Version https://mngr.s3.amazonaws.com/version.txt
Suggestion : If latest version number is shown in About page will be helpful to update.
Manager advances exremely rapidly, sometimes with multiple releases in a day. Important updates are announced on the forum in the Releases category. You really don’t need to install every update. Most address issues invisible to the user.
Thanks Lubos for this improvement. Sorry I have to re-open this topic again and suggest further improvements to it.
As it is now, it becomes very tedious and time consuming to add discount to all the items in quote/invoice etc. line by line (though this feature is still needed where discount rates are different per item) especially where the discount is to be applied to a whole quote/invoice etc. containing a large number of items in it. These are my suggestions:
-
introduce Apply discount to the whole quote/invoice. This should be calculated only on item total. for example
* flat discount amount [ 2075 ]
* discount percent [ 10% ] -
Apply line-by-line discount to specific items.
-
There should be possibility to hide discount column on invoice print out.
-
Pls let discount total be displayed just below the Sub-Total at the summary column. This will give clear info on how much discount has been offered.
NOTE: When these are done there will be no need to display discount column on quote/invoice print output when the discount rate is same for all items.
Thanks.
This cannot be done because different line items might be posted to different accounts. If the discount is applied only to the total, Manager doesn’t know how to allocate. And if a return or debit/credit note is necessary, you need to be able to recover the discount that was associated with the line items returned or adjusted. This reasoning applies to your points #1, #3, and #4.
This is what currently happens.
If it is important to you not to show your customers the discount they are receiving, edit the unit price to include the discount.
Hi
I much agree with your explanation on #1 concerning the posting into accounts. Maybe my use of whole invoice/quote should have been all items. However, my concerns here is about going going back to an invoice applying discount one by one. I think we should be able to instruct manager to apply same discount to all items at a go. This is possible in some systems.
On #3, I disagree with u. I still believe this should also be possible because manager handles similar issues in terms of tax. We should be able to deside whether the discount column should appear or not.
On #4 too I disagree. Is better for the total discount given to appear in the summary portion of a quote/invoice whether it is calculated line-by-line or whole.
I still believe the developers need to take a second look at the discount presentation. I do use a system that fulfils these.
Dears
is there a way to add a percentage on the invoice, like add 10% on item sales price 100 to become 110
thank you in advance
Yes there is, just put 110 as sales price. Not sure what benefit there would be to put +10% on any invoice.
some customers, has for some situation an increase in %, so we don’t want to change the sales prices, and we need to show the % for record purpose
You can just write in the description that you added 10% to the sales price. for tax purposes it is still revenue that you need to report.
By the way in restaurant business it is common to add funds to sales for service often as tip for the staff. IN all such cases it is not part of the sales price but is revenue generated or passed on and that just needs an added line to the invoice or receipt associated with such an account.
You can just add a minus (-) in front of the percentage number which will increase the item total price.
