Bid grid

Stores bids from several subcontractors for a group of items. All bids in the grid apply to the same group of items. You can set up as many bid grids as you need, but a particular item can belong to only one bid grid.

When you specify the bid you want to use, Sage Estimating (SQL) assigns that subcontractor to the item and writes the bid amount to the Sub Amount column in the spreadsheet. A ü appears on the row header of the selected subcontractor. The self-perform row is selected if no bid has been specified for the estimate. (The self-perform row shows the sum of the labor, material, equipment and other amounts from the spreadsheet.)

After you specify a bid, the Sub Name and Amount in the bid grid and spreadsheet are the same. Any change you make in one cell updates the corresponding cell in the other.
