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.
