How Multiple Line Items Work
When including multiple line items for your payables, you will need to duplicate all payable-level information for each line item. Meaning all of the fields that don’t have “Line item” in the name will contain the same information so that our system knows each of the line items are related to a single payable.
You will also need to ensure that all of the amounts for the payable (including Line item amount and Total amount) are calculated following the rules configured in your accounting software.
Using a QBO-integrated account as an example, multiple line items would look like:
Line item type* | Line item name* | Line item description | Line item price* | Line item quantity | Line item amount* | Total amount* |
Category | Advertising | Advertising expense | 500 | 500 | 450 | |
Category | Bank charges | Bank charges | -50 | -50 | 450 |
