Drafting Status: Adding Global & Line Terms

Written By ehaxhiu (Administrator)

Updated at October 27th, 2025

When managing paysheets, you have the flexibility to add terms at different levels, whether globally (to all line items) or to specific line items. This can be done while the paysheet is in drafting status, allowing you to make adjustments before finalizing. 

Global Terms

Edit Header Terms Action 

The Edit Header Terms action opens the Grand Total Term dialog, which provides a clear summary of how the grand total is calculated including subtotal, terms, grand total and use tax. 

From this dialog, you can also edit terms at the global (header) level, allowing you to apply changes that affect all line items on the paysheet.

 
 

Grand Total Dialog

Below is an overview of each field displayed in the Grand Total dialog that allows for Global Term adjustments, along with how each contributes to the final calculated total:

  • Subtotal
    Invoice gross amount before any terms are applied
  • Freight
    Freight term applied from the source document. 
  • Discount
    Discount term applied from the source document.
  • Misc
    Miscellaneous term applied from the source document.
  • Tax
    Tax term applied from the source document.
  • Penny Rounding
    Displays penny difference between invoice and calculated amount.
  • Grand Total
    Invoice net amount, calculated after all applicable terms.
    (Subtotal + Freight – Discount + Misc + Tax + Penny Rounding)
  • Use Tax
    Use tax term applied from the source document. This value is not included in the grand total but is captured for tracking and reporting purposes.
 
 

Grand Total Actions

The Grand Total Dialog includes several actions you can use to manage and update terms at the header level. Below is an explanation of each:

  • Apply Tax (for Tax and Use Tax terms only)
    This action lets you apply the selected tax term using one of the following distribution options:
    • All Lines (default) – applies the term to every line item
    • Lines Without Tax – applies only to items without existing tax
    • Lines With Tax – applies only to items that already have tax
  • Convert To (for Tax and Use Tax terms only)
    This action allows you to quickly switch the selected tax term to its corresponding counterpart:
    • Convert to Use Tax – available on a Tax term, this option converts it to a Use Tax term.
    • Convert to Tax – available on a Use Tax term, this option converts it to a Tax term.
  • Edit
    Click the Edit icon, the label, or the amount to open the Edit Term window. This option is available for all terms.

Variances Detected

Term Variance Overview

When terms are modified while the paysheet is in drafting status, a term variance is triggered. 

Each term with a variance will display its own color coded badge, making it easy to identify which term has changed. Hover over a variance badge to view a tooltip with detailed information about the term applied at the source document in comparison to the invoiced document. 

Click the link for more information on variance badges.

 
 

Header Variances Badges

Header badges indicate that a term has been applied to the document, whether at the source or invoice level. If a badge is visible, it means a term exists on the document; even if it was deleted from the invoice, as this reflects differences between the source and invoice levels.

Variance badges next to the invoice amount highlight discrepancies caused by changes to the net amount, such as differences in the term, amount, or method compared to the originally sourced terms.

The Terms column displays the distribution of terms across line items, showing the calculated amount and associated icon for each.

 
 

Line Variances Badges

Modified term visually indicate variances that have been triggered at the line or global level.

These badges appear in the Terms column, allowing users to quickly identify whether a term has been altered from the original source document.

When a term is unchanged and directly derived from the source, the badge displays as gray, with the term specific color applied to the font and icon.

If a term is modified either at the line level or through global adjustment, the badge appears enabled. It adopts the term’s assigned color for the background, while the font and icon switch to white, signaling that a variance has been triggered from the original source data.

The Invoiced scoreboard reflects the total number of line items with triggered variances, giving users a quick overview of where term adjustments have occurred.

The following example illustrates how the Terms column displays a discount badge for a term that was modified at the draft invoice level, while the remaining three terms are sourced from the original document, highlighting a difference between the source and invoice.

 
 

 

Penny Rounding

Penny Rounding: Non Variance Badge

Unlike other terms, penny rounding does not trigger a variance.

A badge will appear in the header to indicate that a penny rounding adjustment has been applied to the document. Additionally, the penny rounding badge will be shown on the specific line item where the adjustment occurred. However, because this is not a detected variance, the penny rounding badge will not appear in the invoiced scoreboard.

In the image, the Penny Rounding badge appears at both the header and line levels, but it is not shown in the scoreboard, as it does not represent a variance.
