Printing quotation

Discount column will be appeared on the quotation when you have applied discount on any of the product on quotation. Don’t be surprised if you don’t see the discount column on the quotation, which means that you have not applied discount on any of the product on quotation as you don’t want to offer discount to your customer.

Tip

All the taxes applicable on the product will be computed on the discounted product price (i.e. Taxes will be computed on Subtotal)
