Using Gross Profit Fields on Transaction Forms

When the Gross Profit feature is enabled, the following standard transaction forms display gross profit fields: Cash Refund, Cash Sale, Credit Memo, Estimate, Invoice, Opportunity, Return Authorization, and Sales Order.

If you use custom transaction forms, you must add these fields to the forms to see them. For information about adding these fields to customized transaction pages, see Creating Custom Transaction Form HTML Layouts.

The following table describes gross profit fields that may be available on transaction forms. The table includes whether each field is available for the transaction as a whole, at the line level for specific items, or both. Line level fields for Gross Profit are available on the Items subtab. Transaction level fields are located on the Accounting subtab.
