Sales window—Professional layout
The Professional layout of the Sales window enables you to record the sale of items and services that are not in your Items List. You can assign a date to each line on the invoice, which is suitable when invoicing for services that have been provided over a period of time.
Field Descriptions

This field displays the default terms that are assigned to sales for this customer. If you want to change the terms for this sale, click the zoom arrow in this field.

If you are using Mac OS X 10.4 or higher, you can publish this invoice to iCal by selecting this option.

The Event includes the title of the transaction, transaction number, transaction date and payment amount.

This column is used to indicate the line items on which you want to charge sales tax. To indicate that a line item is taxable, click in this column.
