Single Design Fees can be entered into Design Manager just as you would enter a sofa, wallcovering or other merchandise Item.

1. Add a new Item to the desired Project. Enter a Description to describe your Design Fee and select a Sales Category.

2. Next to Purchase Components Information, click on the + Add button to enter pricing.

5. Type the amount of the Design Fee into the Sell Price field.

6. Click Save.

You can now create a new Proposal or Invoice for this Item, to learn how to create a Proposal, click here and to learn how to create an Invoice, click here. To have this Design Fee Item appear in the body of the Proposal/Invoice, you will need to set your Proposal/Invoice Style to List. (Choosing Total will show the design fee at the bottom of the document only). To check or change this setting, go to the Project you added the Design Fee Item to and click on Settings. Then click on Advanced/Mark-up. Go to the Proposal or Invoice tab. Find the Design Fee Component type on these windows and just to the right use the drop down arrow to choose List. Click Save.
