Type

Nature of the job.

Enter type code, search for existing type or create new type.

Note - Jobs can have one or more type i.e. A job can have Printing and also have artwork and creative design. All these types cannot be selected together. In this case, NEOSYS has an option to leave this field blank and enter the type in an estimate and in the proper line.

Internal

This checkbox allows adding internal lines on an estimate. An internal line allows invoice amount to be recorded while not forcing it to be shown on the Invoice.

The option Show and Hide on the Invoice/Proforma page is used to show or hide the internal line on invoice. However, it doesn’t affect the bill amount.

If you select "Hide", the amount of the internal line will add up to the amount in the line above it and if you select “Show”, the internal line will be printed in the Invoice body separately with asterisks in the starting of the description.
