How Adjust Column affects bid amounts
The results of the Adjust
Column command on the Price,
Amount, Total
Amount, and Total Cost/Unit
columns depend on whether the selection includes multiple items covered
by subcontractor bids.
- If the selection includes
only items that carry the bid amount, all adjustments work as usual.
- If the selection includes
only items with an asterisk (*) in the Sub
Amount column, percent, multiply, and divide adjustments do nothing.
Other adjustment types allow you to remove the bid amount or cancel the
adjustment for each item.
- If the selection includes
items of both types, percent, multiply, divide, and spread adjustments
distribute the money only to asterisk (non-bid amount) items. Other adjustment
types allow you to remove the bid amount or cancel the adjustment for
each item.
Tips:
- You can include an adjusted
item in a subcontractor bid. When you specify a bid for the estimate,
Sage Estimating finalizes all pending adjustments on the items in that bid.
- An asterisk (*) in the Sub Amount cell means the item is covered
by the sub amount of another item.
