Sales list total amount
Menu: Sales → Sales (list)
The Total Amount column on the sales list shows the confirmed order total for each sale.
What the column shows
| Field | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Total Amount (list) | Order total after Discount Value, saved on the sales record |
| TOTAL (detail screen) | Live total from Sales Items (qty × price, minus discounts) |
After Confirm Sale, the list total should match the detail TOTAL and the printed invoice.
When the column may look empty
The list does not show zero — a blank cell means the saved total is 0.00. Common cases:
| Situation | Total Amount on list |
|---|---|
| New sale, no products added yet | Blank |
| Confirmed sale with full discount (discount = line total) | Blank |
| Very old or empty confirmed records | Blank |
If a confirmed sale looks blank on the list but TOTAL on the detail screen is correct, open the sale and check Sales Items — the lines are the source of truth for printouts.
Workflows
Check a sale total from the list
- Open Sales → Sales.
- Filter by Status (for example Recent Confirmed) and date.
- Read Total Amount for each row.
- Open the sale if you need line-level detail or to print.
Before confirm
- Add all Sales Items and set Discount Value if needed.
- Check TOTAL on the right of the detail screen.
- Confirm Sale when the total is correct — see Confirm payment.
Validation rules
| Rule | Detail |
|---|---|
| Line items | Total is built from Sales Items |
| Discount | Discount Value reduces the order total |
| New sales | Total is 0 until products are added |
| Confirmed sales | Invoice Code is set; total should appear on the list unless net total is zero |
