Zoho Invoice - How to create an item that is "Partially" Taxed

Zoho Invoice - How to create an item that is "Partially" Taxed

Hi Zoho,

I am using the Zoho Invoice system and enjoy using the various customizations available. I am running into an issue as I am trying to use the invoice system for my Automotive repair shop. For the most part I am able to adapt and get the system running. One particular question or issue I am having though which I wanted to see if anyone else had suggestions to implement. Thank you for any help in advance.

I am trying to add an Item that includes Automotive Parts and Service within a single item. In this case, the Parts would be taxable and the Labor would not be taxable. Since I am trying to add both within a single item it seems like this is currently not possible. What I have been forced to do is to make two Item lines for example: 1) Gasket Replacement Labor  (untaxed) and 2) Gasket Replacement Parts (taxed). I would love to be able to make this a single line so it is organized and easy to create invoices - but this would require to make a partial amount of the item value taxable while the remainder would be untaxed. Let me know if this is possible and if there is any suggestions or other methods to avoid creating two item lines for what I prefer to be a single item line. Thanks in advance!

It now appears very small font size and need to zoom into to read contents. Obviously this make use by field staff quite difficult. This is not at all a good move, as lots of my users are depending on accessing the app in mobile devices (iPads), and very challenging and frustrating.
