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

7. Choose OK again on the Item window.


You can now Add a new Proposal or Invoice for this Item.


1. To have this Design Fee item appear in the body of the Proposal/Invoice, you will need to set your Proposal/Invoice Style     to Combine. (Choosing Total will show the design fee at the bottom of the document only)

Change this by entering File> Company Information and Settings > Advanced > Proposal or Invoice tab; as well as on         the Project level by choosing Edit > Defaults >  Advanced > 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 Combine.
