Line

This non-editable column displays the line number for the various lines in the table window. Note that a subtotal line is printed on the bill wherever there is a T (Text) line type that follows a D (Detail) line type or a group of Detail lines. A line text type is a line that displays ONLY a description and line number; no other fields are completed for a text line. This subtotal line includes the amounts of all Detail lines since the last subtotal.

This column displays for both Retainage code selections, LINE ITEM and TOTAL.

Description

Enter a maximum of 60 alphanumeric characters to describe this billing line. You can enter a line that displays only a description, with no values, by entering in the description and proceeding to the next line.
