How to hide the Kit line items on Customer facing documents
There are two options on how Kits can show on Customer facing documents in Blackpurl
Option 1 - show all Kit line items (this is the default)
The Kit will show on all documentation in a Customer Order as you have created it
The Kit description and then a listing of all line items with prices - see example below of a Invoice Preview:
Option 2 - Hide all Kit line items
The Dealership can elect to have the Kit show up on Customer facing documents as just the description line with total
The Kit will show all items on the Customer Order sections
But when you print / email customer facing documents, the Kit will only show up as the description line with total
This is an example of the above Kit and how it will show up on a Invoice Preview as the description line only with total
If enable this option - navigate to System Settings > Settings and Controls - Shop settings and then move the toggle for the setting Hide kit details on documents
These are the Customer facing documents that will now only show the Kit description and total:
Customer Approvals
Deal documents
Deposit Receipt
Invoice Preview
Checkout Invoice
This change will NOT apply to the following documents:
Third party claim documents
Parts Picklist
Third-party and Internal invoices
