Total amount field
It would be useful to allow entering quantity and total, with the unit price calculated automatically, as an alternative to the current unit price × quantity.
This would help when bills have rounded totals/ discounted unit prices. Right now, I must manually divide the total by the quantity to get a unit price, and rounding issues (if any) will only show up after all lines are entered and the total doesn’t match to that of the bill.
This would require unlocking the total field for input and calculating unit price = total / quantity. To prevent mistakes, the system should block the bills submission if a line’s quantity, unit price, and total don’t match up correctly.
