How to add shop supplies to an invoice as a percentage of the total of the invoice?

Pretty standard invoicing question...  trying to add shop supplies to invoicing to cover all the small items not worth itemizing... How do you set that up as a line item in Jobber?

Hi EESi​ 

Thanks for the question! Rather than adding a separate “Shop Supplies” line item to every invoice, you might find it easier to use the markup feature in your Products and Services list.

You can add a markup percentage to your existing items to help cover overhead costs like shop supplies and other small materials that aren’t worth itemizing individually. This way, those costs are automatically built into your pricing without needing to add an extra line to every invoice.

Can you tell me a bit more about what you’re trying to achieve? I’m curious why adding a markup to your Products and Services wouldn’t accomplish what you’re looking for.
