### Excluding specific Lines / Records from the Child Object

It is possible to pass only a subset of the child records as line items on the Invoice. 

You may need to pass only a subset of child object records to the Invoice, with other lines ignored.

Breadwinner achieves this by allowing you to specify a checkbox field. If you specify this checkbox field, only checked records will be passed to the Invoice, and unchecked records will not be passed. 

This checkbox field can be either a formula field of type Checkbox or a regular Checkbox (which can be populated manually or via Apex/Workflow).

If you want to pass unchecked records and exclude checked ones, just create a second checkbox that is the opposite of the first, and pass the second checkbox to Breadwinner.

Please note that Breadwinner allows multiple Custom URL Buttons on a single object. So you might have 2, 3, or many more buttons to choose from. And you might have multiple checkbox fields used with different buttons.

*An Example Real World Scenario*

A typical scenario for this would involve combining recurring services with one-off services on an Opportunity or Custom Object. In this scenario, the first invoice to the customer would include all child records (including one-off professional services), and subsequent invoices would include only the recurring records (such as a monthly subscription).

To achieve this example, the first Custom URL Button would not specify Partial Line Items, and thus all child records would be on the Invoice. A second Custom URL Button would specify the checkbox field.

When the first Invoice was created (which includes all line items), a button that does not use the Partial Line Item query string would be used. Then, for additional invoices, a second button that uses the Partial Line Item query string would be used.

The Query String is below:
