||
|
|
The Activate/Deactivate Edit Mode Icon which was used to toggle the Detail Line Item's Edit Mode interface has been removed from the Invoice and Proposals Forms so In Line Editing is now the only data entry method supported. ▪In doing so, the issue with not being able to modify data while the Edit Text Editor was activated has also been resolved. |
|
When importing the Detail Line Items for a new Proposal by using an existing Proposal as a Template, if a Detail Line Item in the selected Template is Taxable (e.g., Tax Code is Y, 1, 2, 3) then: a)If the Proposal is for a Subscriber the Tax Code and Tax Rate will be pulled from the Receivables section of the Edit View of the current Subscriber, b)If the Proposal is for a Prospect the Tax Code and Tax Rate will be pulled from the Tax Information section of the current Prospect (as appropriate).
