Line items represent payable objects (goods or services) in the system that are added to or removed from customer Invoices (and customer Reservations).
When the exchange of a good or service for money is recorded in Dockwa, a unique Line Item ID is created to identify the individual good or service exchanged.
Line items hold the source of truth for amounts paid, tax amount, fee amounts, etc. and provides the date of service for each item.
The Line Items Ledger is a summary of Line Items that are added or removed to a confirmed or canceled reservation.
It provides the details of each individual good or service paid for by customers over a specified period of time.
The Line Items Ledger report is the most granular view of each customer invoice.
