Your pricing mode (Variant vs Averaged Pricing) directly impacts how invoices are created when sending to QuickBooks Online or Xero.
This affects:
How line items appear on invoices
How your customer sees pricing
How clean or detailed your accounting records are
Variant Pricing → Detailed Invoice
When using Variant Pricing, each variant is invoiced separately.
What happens:
Each variant appears on its own row
Each row has its own quantity and rate
The invoice shows full detail
Example:
Small – 50 units – $3.11
3XL – 50 units – $6.20
Averaged Pricing → Simplified Invoice
When using Averaged Pricing, all variants are combined.
What happens:
A single row is created for the product
Quantities are combined
A single averaged rate is applied
Example:
Total – 100 units – $4.66

💡 Pro Tip
Create two SalesDoc templates:
One using Variant Pricing
One using Averaged Pricing
This allows you to quickly choose the right pricing style for each job without reconfiguring products every time.
