Viewing and editing combined article details

The record combines the identification, document settings, and included products and services for one combined article. You need access to the active administration and an active Billnado licence.

An archived combined article shows Archived next to its name. Its information remains visible and editable, but the combination is no longer active in normal article selections.

General Information

Field	Meaning and rules
Name	The recognisable name Billnado uses in lists, article selections, and documents.
Sku	The internal code for the combination.
Category	The article category used to group and find combined articles.
Description	Detailed information about the combination in formatted text.

Items and document settings

Field or setting	Meaning and rules
Standard selling price	The proposed selling price for the entire combination. The price cannot be negative and is not recalculated automatically when you change lines.
Standard unit	The usual sales unit for the combination, such as package or set.
Import 'description' in documents	Copies the saved description when you use the combination on a document.
Hide lines on invoice	Prevents the individual included lines from being printed on the invoice; the combination's main line remains visible.

The included items section contains at least one line. For each line, select a Product or Service, define its Quantity within one combination, and change its position with Move up and Move down. Add article adds a line. Delete removes a line from the combination; the only remaining line cannot be removed.

Copy, archive, and delete

These actions are only available when there are no unsaved changes.

Action	Availability and effect

Frequently asked questions

Why can I not see the copy, archive, or delete actions?

When there are unsaved changes, Billnado only shows Cancel and Save. Save or discard the changes first.

Why does the standard selling price not change when I edit a line?

The standard selling price is a separate price for the entire combination. Update it yourself when the content or quantities change.

Can I still change an archived combined article?

Yes. The record remains editable. Select Unarchive when you want to use the combination actively again.
