Subtotal are breakdowns of how you might receive discounts or adjustments from your supplier or how you may discount or adjust your labor. The subtotals file can contain up to 999 subtotals. These Subtotals accumulate Material, Field Labor, Shop Labor, Weight, Area, and two User Definable values that are common throughout the database.
You can specify three Estimate adjustments and phases for each subtotal: one each for material, field labor, and shop labor. Adjustments can be of three types: percentage, multiplier, or addition. Phases have to be valid (those setup in the Phases File).
If you choose to print total by phase (a separate report that is produced after printing a Bid Summary) the totals are redistributed according to the Estimate phases you setup here and in the Bid Templates File.
In Summary and Bid Summary, you can choose to view and print reports of these accumulations.
