1.11. Line Item Group not showing the correct tax.

Q:  I've just done a quote using a Line Item Group, and the tax is not showing correctly on the print out of the estimate.  The correct tax amount is shown on the estimate screen, and the correct total amount shows on the print out, but the tax on the print out is not correct.

A:  We are aware of this issue and we are working to fix it.  The issue is that when the print out is generated it's only calculating tax for a quantity of 1 for that Line Item Group.  If your quantity is more then 1 it still calculates/shows the correct total on the print out, but the tax amount only reflects a quantity of 1.

The only work around for this right now is to:

• Use only a quantity of 1 for the group (the quantities for the items in the group will not effect anything mentioned in this article).

• If you need the group to have a quantity of more then 1 you can first just do one, and then on the job/estimate screen you can copy that Line Item Group as many times as you need to reach the quantity you need.  (This obviously won't look as condensed on the printout as it would if you could just increase the quantity of the one group, but it will print the tax amount correctly on the quote).
