Balance the Totals on an Inventory Order

It is important to confirm that the inventory order total in Boulevard matches the packing slip (or Order Details page online) that came with the shipment before setting the Status to Received so inventory and tax records remain accurate. The totals area and breakdown view help verify discounts, shipping, taxes, and any items that are not discountable. Missing items, wrong discounts, or incorrect tax settings are common issues to check.

 From the sidebar navigation, clickProductsProducts, then Inventory Orders.

Common Reasons and Resolutions:

Are all items accounted for on the order?

Is the correct Order Discount amount being applied?

Does your state or province charge tax on shipping?

Did you order any items that are considered non-taxable where you live?

Did you order any items that were part of a special promotion
with a fixed wholesale amount?

Did you receive any free retail items?

Are any items showing a price different from their regular retail price,
or has it changed since the order was placed?

Do your totals balance except for the tax?

If you need to adjust the order totals but the status is set to Received, see Edit an Inventory Order.

Compare your packing slip totals with the amounts listed at the bottom of the order in Boulevard. Use the Breakdown as an extra resource to see the default discount on the order, any items purchased that are not eligible for discounts (such as purchase-with-purchase items), along with other discounts applied.
