Sales>Quotes | Bug | Amount is defaulting to 0.00 when columns 'Quantity' and 'Price' are hidden
Our business provides lump sum quotes. While we list individual products/services for clarity, we do not show a cost per item (row). As a workaround - we hide the 'quantity' and 'price' columns however we still use the inventory item feature to automatically import the individual product/service. We then include a row at the bottom of the quote with the lump sum, account & tax rate.
Problem:
When the 'Quantity' and 'Price' columns are hidden via quote settings, the 'Amount' column incorrectly displays 0.00 when a product is selected from the 'Item' column. If the item is manually typed in 'Description' column, the 0.00 does not display in 'Amount' column.
Expected Behavior:
When selecting a product from the 'Item' column and both 'Quantity' and 'Price' columns are hidden, the 'Amount' column should:
Either be hidden entirely
OR
Leave as blank - without showing 0.00
There is no workaround for this. I can't even delete the 0.00 from the amount column. I have to manually enter the product items to avoid the 0.00 from appearing.
Please either fix this bug ( it has worked before on/off depending on browser) or provide another option for construction businesses to provide a lump sum on their quote. Refer to attached example.
