ACCOUNTS | Invoice Total to calculate unit price

Summary:

A request has been made to allow the input of a total line item amount on invoices, which then automatically calculates the unit price. This feature would reverse the current process where entering a unit price calculates the total.

Intended Outcome:

Enable users to input the total amount first, which will then back-calculate and display the unit price for each item.

Here's how the feature would work:

1. Input Total Amount: The user enters the total amount for a line item in the invoice.

2. Automatic Calculation: Once the total is input, the system automatically divides the total by the quantity of items to calculate the unit price.

3. Display Unit Price: The calculated unit price is displayed in the corresponding field, providing the user with the exact cost per item based on the total amount they entered.

Benefits:

• Enhanced Flexibility: Users can quickly determine unit prices based on total costs.

• Improved User Experience: Simplifies invoice creation for those who work with total amounts rather than unit prices.
