Hide billing lines
After receiving our PO w a freight line, in order for us to track the cost of freight on a billing and not charge the customer on this line, we add a freight line to our sales order so the cost of freight pulls in on the billing; this is a -0- sell to the customer on this line, so we would like to hide the line. Is there a way to hide billing lines from printing on the invoice to the customer?

Hi Grace,
Unfortunately, there's is no easy way "out of the box". But it is possibe to design a custom invoice template that will hide designated billing lines.
The two main methodsI have seen it done is with a document generation tool like Conga Compser, or via a custom Visualforce page to replace the Accounting Seed template.
If your company is already using Conga or something like it, this is probably the easiest/most affordable way to accomplish what you want. If it is not, incurring a monthly license fee just for a custom invocie template probably isn't worth it, and you might explore the new visualforce page route.
A new visualforce page is something a developer needs to put together, and it can require a decent chunk of hours; I've seen estimates of 15-30 hours, but once it's done, it's yours.
If you're interested in talking through the options with someone, you can reach out to the finance and accounting team at Coastal Cloud where I work. https://coastalcloud.us/contact/. As long as you mention "Accounting Seed" in the How can we help your organization field, your message will end up in the right place ;-)
