   1. In the Items tab, after an existing item, select an item with an item type of Discount and click Add. This will apply the discount to the item directly before the discount item.
      
      
      
      
4. To apply a discount to multiple lines:
   1. In the Items tab, if there are multiple items listed, select the Subtotal item on the next line and click Add. This adds the amounts of the items previously listed into a single subtotal.
      
      
      
      
   2. On the next line, select an item with an item type of Discount and click Add. This will apply the discount to the subtotal.
