Using addons effectively
Sage Estimating (SQL) addons are extremely flexible. To take advantage of this powerful feature, you should review the following information:
- You can base addons on a variety of costs such as categories, estimate totals, or even other addons.
- You can create several addons with different rates for the same expense.
- You choose the specific addons that you need for each estimate in the Totals window.
- You can position an addon to include some estimate costs and exclude others. Example
- You can customize the way an addon is calculated for a particular estimate by changing the addon details in the Totals window.
- When printing estimate reports, you can prorate (allocate) addons across items instead of showing each one separately.
- When generating transactions for job cost, you can prorate (allocate) addons across items instead of including a separate transaction for each one.
