Addon window

Addons command

This command opens the Addon window where you can create and edit individual addons in the standard database.

On the ribbon, from the Other Pricing group on the Data tab, click Addons.

Addons, or markups, are indirect costs that apply to the whole estimate. Addon amounts can be based on a wide variety of costs such as the total cost of the estimate, category costs (labor, material, and equipment, for example), or selected hours.

Note: Addons is available only if a standard database is open.

Tip: To edit or create addons from the Totals window, select Edit Addon or Create One-time Addon from the shortcut menu.

Shortcut menus provide access to commands that you may need to accomplish a particular task.

To open a shortcut menu, point to something in a Sage Estimating (SQL) window, and then right-click it. The available commands vary based on where you are pointing.
