Creating a Miscellaneous Line Item

You can either create miscellaneous line items individually on the sales order or use the division's miscellaneous line item for sales order tax adjustments. The benefit of creating a miscellaneous line item individually is to customize it. Your division will only be able to access the division line item after the administrator completes Administrative Set-up for Sales Order Tax Adjustments

  1. Click the Miscellaneous tab
  2. Add two miscellaneous expenses in the fillable line item
