2. How to make the automatic service not count for a specific dealer?
You cannot make the automatic service not add for a specific dealer, but you can create several price lists and set the service cost to 0 in one of them.
Add this price list with value 0 to the dealer for whom this service should not be counted. Then it will STILL be added to the calculation, but the cost will be 0.
For example, you have automatic calculation of additional corners cost for more than 4, but you need this service not to count for one dealer, while counting for all others. For this, we create a separate price list (or two price lists if you don't have any) and set the cost to 0 for this service in one price list, and your usual cost in the other.
After that, open the dealers directory, find the one we need and click "Edit". In the price lists for services, specify the one where we set the value to 0. Now when creating an order from this dealer, the service will appear in the calculation, but its cost will be 0.
