The fields in the Edit Summary Item window box are explained in this section.
The Summary item sequence number is shown in the upper left corner of this window box. This number is assigned to items within the Summary file and within the level breakdown.
ITEM: This field shows the item number, category, size, and item description. These cannot be changed.
QUANTITY: The quantity can be changed by highlighting the current amount and typing a new amount. Double-click with the primary mouse button to highlight it.
MATERIAL: There are several portions of the Material area of the Edit Summary Item window box.
Unit (Material Unit): This is the Material Unit that initially comes from the Databook (or from the job's Specials file). If you change the amount of the Unit, that new amount becomes known as the Edited amount (and the Edited button to the right becomes activated). In addition to directly entering an amount in this field, the buttons to the right can also be used to change this field's setting.

This item's Primary
Material Unit from the Databook.
The Databook's Discounted
Material Unit for this item.
Unit from Estimate Pricing
File. Estimate Pricing File is created during the first Summary run and
is based on the material unit of the item in Takeoff. This will not be
the same as the material unit in the Databook if you changed the item's
price in Takeoff.
This button is not active
until you enter a new Unit amount or select a different setting (Skip,
Manual, or Quote) than the initial setting. Then, that amount or setting
is stored as the Edited value. The Edited value will always reflect the
last change (other than Primary, Discount, or Job Price) you made to the
Unit.
Adjust (Material Adjustment): The Unit is multiplied by the Adjustment to achieve the Extended amount. The Adjustment can be changed by highlighting the current amount (double-click with the primary mouse button to highlight it) and typing a new amount. The Adjustment defaults to 1.00, unless Level Adjustments are active.
Note: The default Adjustment is 1.00. If a Material Factor was entered in Takeoff, it will be shown here as the Material Adjustment. Level Adjustments, if active, will also be applied.
Extended (Material Extended): This is the calculation of the Unit multiplied by the Adjustment. This is calculated automatically as changes are made to the Unit and Adjustment.
Net Price: When the Net Price option is selected, the current material unit will be the net price for the Item. This means that no adjustments will be applied to the Item in Summary.
LABOR: The Labor area of the Edit Summary Item window box contains several elements.
Unit (Labor Unit): The Labor Unit initially comes from the Databook (or from the job's Specials file). If you change the amount of the Unit, that new amount becomes known as the Edited amount (and the Edited button to the right becomes activated). In addition to directly entering an amount in this field, the buttons to the right can also be used to change this field's setting.

The Adjustment defaults to 1.00, unless Level Adjustments are active (see Level Adjustments).
