I’m working on a template which I want to prefill -  a basic Purchase Requisition form that I send out for approval almost every day.  The previous excel version of the form normally multiplies the quantity times the price per unit and fills in the extended cost for each line item which I enter. 

I can find a values calculation option for the signer, and I can find a “prefill” tool for me as the sender, but I can’t seem to find anything that would let me PREFILL the Extended Value before sending it on to the signer.

Do I just have to manually do the calculations or can I do a “calculated pre-fill field” to automatically do the calculation once I enter values cost per unit and qty when I’m prefilling the form?

Hi @Mfoord-ROM,

 

Welcome to the DocuSign Community!

 

We are glad to have you here and can't wait to help share as much knowledge as possible.

 

I understand that you are looking to prefill your extended value field, and I will share the steps to set this up.

 

The best course of action would be creating a Formula Field for each line item total and one for the extended value field. By setting up a formula that multiplies the quatity per price and adds up the totals, you will be able to prefill the fields included in the formula and get the total that you are looking for.

 

For detailed steps on how to set up a Formula Field, see:
