Instance Method Details

#acts_as_line_item(*args) ⇒ Object

Declares that the current class is a model for line items (i.e. individual items on invoices and credit notes).

The name of any attribute or method required by LineItem (as documented on the LineItem module) may be used as an option, with the value being the name under which that particular method or attribute can be found. This allows you to use names other than the defaults. For example, if your database column storing the line item value is called net_price instead of net_amount:

acts_as_line_item :net_amount => :net_price
