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 Estimate Price) you made to the Unit.
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.
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 (see Level Adjustments).
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.
