Comments

The breakdown of an invoicing element onto the lines does not modify the net price, or the net margin, of the line. The breakdown onto the lines will be used to calculate the statistics in order to take into account the invoicing elements in the margin earned or to break down this amount onto the income accounts when posting an invoice or an invoice to issue.

In the Purchase module, this breakdown can be useful to impact the stock value of the line or the expense account when posting an invoice.
