By default, the Amount column on Sales Orders is automatically calculated as Quantity x Rate.
Standard Sales Order forms' Amount column's Display Type is not Inline Text. Hence, users will be able to enter line items on Sales Orders wherein Amount does not equal Quantity x Rate. This happens when Price Level is set to Custom, calculated Amount is changed to a different value and agreeing to this warning message "The line total amount is not equal to the item price times the quantity. Is this correct?"
To create a Saved Search that displays line items on Sales Orders where Amount column does not equal Quantity x Rate, users may perform these steps:
1. Navigate to Reports > Saved Searches > All Saved Searches > New.
2. Select Transaction as the Search Type.
3. Enter a Search Title and set the following:
Criteria tab > Standard sub tab:
*Type = Sales Order
*Main Line = No
*Shipping Line = No
*Tax Line = No
*COGS Line = No
*Date
*Formula (Numeric) | Formula = case when {amount} = ({quantity}*{rate}) then 1 else 0 end | equal to | 0
Results tab > Columns sub tab:
*Date
*Document Number
*Name
*Amount
*Formula (Numeric) | Formula = {quantity}*{rate}
4. Save & Run.
Note: This saved search is useful in monitoring possible line items on sales orders with Amount incorrectly set by users and would therefore provide them the avenue to make necessary corrections.
