Creating subtotal items in QuickBooks for Mac
A subtotal item adds up the amounts of the items above it, up to the last subtotal. Create a subtotal item if you want to apply a percentage discount to several items. Because QuickBooks calculates percentages only on the line above, you need to subtotal the items before entering a discount item that calculates on a percentage basis. To create subtotal items: 1 Choose Lists > Items. 2 Click the + at the bottom of the list. 3 In the Type field of the New Item window, choose Subtotal. 4 Enter an item name, such as “Subtotal.” 5 Enter the description that you want QuickBooks to put on your sales forms when you apply the subtotal. 6 Click OK.
