Individual invoice rows are separated for closer attention.

The original demonstration

Datamolino published this demonstration in April 2015. Its purpose was specific: show that invoice charges could be captured as separate rows and assigned different ledger accounts before export to Xero.

The original post linked to a line-item export video. That recording belongs to the earlier interface. It should not be used as a current sequence of clicks or evidence of today's subscription terms.

The workflow today

Current line-item processing separates descriptions, quantities where shown and amounts from the accounting codes assigned to them. A subscription must include line-item extraction. Fullscreen line editing allows bulk coding, and saved exact-description decisions or keyword rules can repeat a chosen treatment.

The current Help Centre line editor guide documents the table, editable states and comparison between invoice totals and coded line sums. The line-items versus totals guide explains when that detail is useful and when a total or tax summary is sufficient.
