Products and Services (Price List Items)
Price List Items are products and/or services that you use on Invoices or Credit Notes on a regular basis. Using Price List Items can greatly speed up the entering of transactions into AccountsPortal, as you do not have to manually key in the relevant information each time.
Price List Items can only be used in Invoices and Credit Notes. Consider using the Import feature.
