Discounts and units of measure in the invoice and quote
Add a discount by percentage or riyal amount on a line item or entire document, specify the unit of measurement such as hour or piece, with discount calculated before VAT.
When the customer agrees to a discount or the service is sold by the hour and the product by the unit, this must appear within the document itself. Fawtar allows discounting each line item or the entire invoice and quote, and calculates tax after the discount instead of modifying the original price or explaining the agreement in notes.
