What are line items?

Introduction to line items

Line items are used on deals to identify the products composing the deals. Line items can be set on deals:

• During deal registration by partners
• On existing deals by channel managers and/or partners

One line item represents one product with its corresponding quantity, unit price, and total price.

Products and unit prices are defined in the product catalog: How to manage products?

Line items can be found on every deal's page, in the Line items tab. You will find:

• The list of line items composing the deal (1)
• The total price for all selected line items (2)
• The total deal amount, which includes the total price for all selected line items plus other amounts composing the total deal amount (3)

Options for channel managers

Channel managers can:

• Add, edit or delete line items, even those created by partners
• Overwrite the default unit price on each line item
• Define what partners can do with line items, per partner program (see next section)

Options for partners

Depending on the settings defined in the partner program (please see: How to allow resellers to select products during deal reg? for more details), partners can:

• Add line items during the deal registration process
• Add, edit or delete line items, even those created by other partners on the same deal
• See unit prices, total prices, and deal amounts
