Discount Line Items are a really cool new feature in EstiMate 2011.

With Discount Line Items, you can discount only a portion of an estimate rather than the whole thing.  In previous versions, there was only one discount field (for the whole quote), but EstiMate 2011 adds the ability to fine tune your discounting.  Ken asked the other day about discounting all but shipping on an estimate, so that’s the example I’ll use to show this to you.

As you can see here, the discount line item discounts the line items above it, but not the ones below.

This means that you can flexibly discount some items for your customers, but not others!

I’m Getting Really Excited

I’d just like to say here that I’m getting very, very excited about all these new features in EstiMate 2011.  I’ve worked day and night for months to bring all this together, and it’s really pretty amazing how everything just flows together in EstiMate now.  Counting down the days until release… look for more new feature announcements soon!
