Description

This is the description of the work. If you want to enter a sub’s name, you must use one of the options under the Minority Information option (explained below).

Quantity

This is the quantity for the current sub item. This quantity does NOT have to be the same as the task quantity.

Unit Price

The unit price entered here is only a default. When you load the crew into an estimate, you can change the price at that time.

Minority Information

This button will expand the sub cost display to include options for selecting a specific sub from the contractor database as well as entering minority information.

Minority Information

This section is used to select the minority status of the current item. Instead of selecting the minority status, you can select the “Specify Below” option, then select a sub from the Contractor Database.

Specify Minority

This option is only available if you select the “Specified Below” option. The Contractor list box will display a list of all the contractors in the contractor database, and the minority status will be initially set to the setting that is saved in the database (you can change the minority setting at any time).

NEW

If the contractor you need is not listed, press the “NEW” button to add the contractor to the database. Pressing this button will display a window allowing you to enter all the needed information about the contractor and add that item to the Contractor Database for future use.

Partial This option allows you to specify a portion of the sub cost as a minority.
