How Adjust Column affects bid amounts

Total Cost/Unit column

This display-only spreadsheet column shows the amount per unit of the spreadsheet row. To calculate the total cost per unit, Sage Estimating (SQL) divides the Total Amount by the Takeoff Quantity. If you change a category total, Sage Estimating (SQL) recalculates the unit cost and unit price for that category.

Tips:  

  • The total cost and unit description are actually separate columns. They can have different characteristics and offer different commands on the shortcut menu.
  • This total cost per unit also appears in the Unit Costs tab of the Detail window.
