FAQ

Quick answers

Short answers for the questions that usually come up first.

Why separate shipping and tax from the item subtotal?

Because it makes the order structure easier to audit and explain before the PO is approved.

Can I use this for service purchase orders too?

Yes. As long as you can express the order as a unit price, quantity, and extra charges, the estimate still works.
