The invoice body section has 5 columns inside the print area. They are 'Code', 'Description', 'Sq. Feet', 'Rate' and 'Total Amount'. Total amount is calculated using square feet and rate. And for Invoice Manager users, the icon column outside the print area lets you select products and items from a list window so that you don't have type repeat information (product and item name, price etc.) again and again. The 'Taxable' checkbox column, which is available in both the free version and the Invoice Manager version, allows you to specify whether each item is taxable. If you uncheck a product or an item, the line will be excluded from tax calculation.
