We'd like the ability to add a subtotal line item into our invoices/bills, so our customers can see the full prices, as well as the discount they received. However, this discount is tied to an AGREEMENT (to a site), and not strictly per customer. It's also a discount that applies to the WHOLE invoice.
Most other billing softwares have some way to add a subtotal discount and will do the calculation for you automatically.

Viewpoint, the lack of INVOICE-LEVEL discounts (subtotal discounts) is incredibly frustrating.
Are there any other other major invoicing software packages that can't do one or more "20% off this invoice" subtotal lines?
Perhaps a better name would be "Subtotal Modifiers".
As our company continues to grow, doing these workarounds becomes more and more error prone:
multiple "Rate Templates" (gets crazy with multiple coupons & agreement memberships)
adding a custom MISC line that must be recalculated manually
Please consider catching up to industry standards in the invoicing arena.
Thank you! :-)
As far as where the $$ would go, My initial thought is they would be tied to a SM Cost Type. That way you could leave all of your "per line" calculations as they are, and the SUBTOTAL MODIFIER would produce it's own line in the GL records.
