Line items

The Items card on the receipt page lists what was bought, one line per item, with the columns Description, Qty, Unit price and Amount. On a phone the unit price is hidden to make room for the description.

With more than one priced item, an Items total line adds them up. Under the items are the Subtotal, VAT, Discount, Tip and Total. Change the first four here; change the total at the top of the page.

When no items were read, the card says “No items were read from this receipt.” Items are optional: a receipt can be approved without them.

1. Press Add item under the list.

   Add item

2. Type what was bought. The quantity starts at 1. Enter the unit price or the amount; SlipInbox works out the other.

3. Press Enter to save, or Esc to cancel.

Change an item the same way as any other value: point at it and press the pencil, or tap it on a touch screen. The figures keep each other in step:

• A new quantity or unit price works out the amount again. With no unit price, a new quantity works out the unit price from the amount instead.
• A new amount works out the unit price again, since the amount is the line total printed on the slip.

To remove an item, press the bin at the end of its line. It goes straight away.

Items you add, change or remove are kept when the receipt is read again. See Read a receipt again.

When the items don’t match the receipt’s figures, a warning appears under them, for example:

Compare the lines with the photo. Usually an item was missed, or a quantity or amount was misread. Add or correct it and the warning goes. If the items are right, check the subtotal instead.
