# Line Concepts: VAT, Discounts, and More

ERP systems allow users to specify detailed information on each line item of a sales order, such as VAT (Value-Added Tax), item discounts, and shipping costs. This ensures transparency and accuracy in the sales process.

**Key Concepts in Sales Orders:**

* **VAT Amounts:** ERP systems automatically calculate VAT based on the customer's location and the type of goods being sold.
* **Discounts and Promotions:** Discounts can be applied per line item or to the total order.
* **Shipping and Handling Fees:** Additional charges related to delivery can be added to the order.
