How do I put additional charges or discounts on an invoice?
In Alma, you can either spread charges and discounts over all items on an invoice (pro rata) or add them as separate line items.
Pro Rata
- Check the "Use pro rata" box in an invoice.
- Fill out one or more fields in the Additional Charges section.
- Shipment amount
- Overhead amount
- Insurance amount
- Discount amount
- Do not use any of the additional invoice line types.
