You can perform a calculation in a numeric field to quickly change the price of an individual item on an order. For example, you could calculate a five percent discount on a product to clinch a sale.
Once you edit the price, the new price is followed by an asterisk (*). The asterisk alerts everyone that the original price was overridden.
To perform a calculation, enter the formula in a numeric field, preceded by one of the following operators:

subtraction. |
|

/ |

To change a price using a calculation:
Create or open a sales order and display the order's Body tab.
Make sure the selected screen view displays numeric fields. If not, select View > New View and choose a suitable view.
In a numeric field, enter the calculation, preceded by the appropriate operator. For example, to calculate a five percent discount from a product's unit price, enter *.95. The calculation is applied and the price updates as soon as you press Enter.
