Use Subcontractor command

Use this command on the shortcut menu to specify which subcontractor in the bid grid you want to use for the estimate.

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.

When you specify a subcontractor, the bid amount appears in the Sub Amount cell of the item from which you opened the bid grid. Other items included in the bid have an asterisk (*) as the sub amount.

If an item already has labor, material, equipment, or other amounts in the spreadsheet, you have the option of clearing or keeping those amounts.

Tips:  

  • To open the shortcut menu, right-click a sub name in the bid grid.
  • You can also choose the subcontractor by double-clicking the row header.
  • To restore items to their original category amounts in the spreadsheet, choose self-perform.
