Open Bid Grid command
Use this command to enter bids for the selected items. The command opens the bid grid where you can store the bids received from subcontractors for a group of items. When you open the bid grid, Sage Estimating (SQL) selects all of the included items in the spreadsheet.
The first time you open the bid grid, its contents depend on whether a subcontractor is already assigned to the selected item in the spreadsheet.
| Subcontractor assigned | Contents of Bid Grid |
|---|---|
| Yes |
Subcontractor and amount from spreadsheet Self-perform amount of zero |
| No |
Self-perform amount from spreadsheet |

- To enter bids that cover several items, Shift or Ctrl-click each of the included items before you open the bid grid.
