1. Create offer

Create a new offer in the Orders module via Add. Again via Add in the dialog now add positions, titles, texts and page breaks to the offer. In the example, a quantity discount is granted for different quantities. Therefore, two positions of the same article with different quantities are created.

2. Add optional position

If the Optional checkbox is selected when adding a position, it will not be included in the total for the offer. Optional items are included in the option total, but not in the subtotal.

3. Insert option total or subtotal

Select the option total and subtotal using the dropdown on the Add button. Both are used here for demonstration.

4. Difference between option total and subtotal

While the subtotal adds all positions above, the option total adds only the positions above the total up to the next total above.

The option or subtotals can still be arranged at any time by drag & drop.

5. Finish / Result

Complete the offer by clicking Save & Open. The screenshot shows the result of the offer with options and subtotals. While the first option (items 1 and 2) costs a total of CHF 2,500, a 10% discount is granted on option 2 (items 3 and 4) due to the higher quantity. The second option totals CHF 4,500.

The example shows that the subtotal adds up all (non-optional) items above, while the option total only adds up the items up to the option total above.

The grand total of 275 only includes the 250 for the first item and the delivery costs, which are not optional.
