How to automate inventory items selection for line items?
There are 3 main ways how to automate the inventory items selection for line items:
Once you export a line item for the first time, we will automatically remember and apply the same coding in the future, if the line item description is exactly the same.
If your line items descriptions vary, but contain a common keyword that determines their inventory item code, we recommend setting up keyword rules to automate them (Video guide).
If you are creating line items manually or using a bill split, we recommend including the inventory item code in your bill split coding (One off and template based bill split, Recurring bill split).
FAQ: How is the "Unit price" field calculated?
This field is for your information only and cannot be edited by the user.

When you edit the Quantity, the Unit Price is re-calculated by the system. Depending on which values are available, thy system chooses tax inclusive (TOTAL) or tax exclusive (NET) for the calculation.
