The results of the Adjust Column command on the Price, Amount, Total Amount, and Total Cost/Unit columns depend on whether the selection includes multiple items covered by subcontractor bids.
- If the selection includes only items that carry the bid amount, all adjustments work as usual.
- If the selection includes only items with an asterisk (*) in the Sub Amount column, percent, multiply, and divide adjustments do nothing. Other adjustment types allow you to remove the bid amount or cancel the adjustment for each item.
- If the selection includes items of both types, percent, multiply, divide, and spread adjustments distribute the money only to asterisk (non-bid amount) items. Other adjustment types allow you to remove the bid amount or cancel the adjustment for each item.
Tips:
- You can include an adjusted item in a subcontractor bid. When you specify a bid for the estimate, Sage Estimating (SQL) finalizes all pending adjustments on the items in that bid.
- An asterisk (*) in the Sub Amount cell means the item is covered by the sub amount of another item.
