"Hiding" items in an invoice

Hi,

I've seen lots of questions about this on various forums, and a few attempts
at workaround answers, but nothing that seems like a direct solution, or
suggestion on a way to approach it differently.

Expenses for my projects are input on the item tab, as items. On the
invoice, I don't want the customer to see the item details...just a total.
As an example, if I do a faucet install, I just want them to see $100 that
htey owe me...not $2 for washers, $80 for faucet, $18 for hoses, etc. (Let's
ignore labor for this discussion).

How can I do that? I still want to be able to track profit/loss via my item
tracking.

Thanks!

Take a look at the "group" item. You would need to specify all of the
components of the job in the item you set up. It also gives you the option
to "print items in group". Leaving this box unchecked (default) means that
the details are not included on the invoice.
