This spreadsheet column shows the spreadsheet name of the subcontractor assigned to each item, if any. To specify a subcontractor, choose one from the list, and then enter an amount in the Sub Amount column.
If the subcontractor does not exist in the address book, you can easily add it by typing the name in the Sub Name column for the item, and then pressing Enter. For more information, see Setting up a subcontractor in the estimate.
When you specify the subcontractor you want to use in the Bid Grid, Sage Estimating (SQL) inserts that sub name into the spreadsheet.
Tips:
- Click
to choose
from a list of companies in the Address Book database that you can use as subcontractors. - To enter the same subcontractor for several items, choose Fill Down on the shortcut menu.
- To remove a subcontractor, right-click it, and then select Clear Subcontractor. You can also select Cut from the shortcut menu, or press Ctrl+X.
- The contact name, telephone, and notes for the subcontractor appear in the Notes tab of the Detail window.
- After you specify a bid for the estimate, the sub names in the spreadsheet and Bid Grid are the same.
