Substituting an item in the takeoff grid (Assembly takeoff)

1. In the takeoff grid, right- click the item you want to replace.
2. Select Substitute Item from the shortcut menu to open the Item List window.
3. Select the item you want to substitute.

Sage Estimating (SQL) uses the calculation and the quantity from the item being replaced. In most cases, this is appropriate because the substitute item is simply a different grade of the same material.
