Question

Fee as percentage subtracts

I have a 10% fee item in QB but when I insert it into the invoice it shows as a SUBTRACTION.

 

I'm trying to add a 10% fee to the current invoice.

Why isn't it adding 10% of the invoice total to the amount box?

 

FYI, total invoice is $100. Trying to add 10% to the invoice (therefore $110).

 

Thanks

I can help you with resolving the error you're having when adding your invoice, @zamboknee

 

It's possible that there are some minor data issues with your company file that's why you're having errors with your invoices. Try running the Rebuild and Verify Utility tool to fix possible data damage on your company file.

 

Please follow the steps below:

 

  1. Open your company file again.
  2. Go to the File menu, then select Utilities and choose Rebuild Data.
  3. Click OK in the QuickBooks Information window.
  4. Wait until the repair is done. Then, click OK.
  5. Then, go back to the File menu and select Utilities and choose Verify Data.
  6. Click OK if QuickBooks doesn't find any problems. Or Rebuild Now if it finds issues with your company file.

 

If you still get the same issue, let's try running the QuickBooks File Doctor to fix common issues. 

 

  1. Open your QuickBooks Tool Hub.
  2. Select Company File Issues.
  3. Click Quick Fix my File.
  4. Choose OK when it completes and launch your QuickBooks.

I didn't mention anything about my address not showing properly.

Where'd you get that?

 

The problem is, again, that the 10% additive fee is showing up as a SUBTRACTION!

Hi @zamboknee,

The 10% fee is only affecting the one row above. Try adding a subtotal item to your invoice first, then the 10% fee following the subtotal item row.
