SQL Estimating – Crews – Multiple Rate Tables

You can assign multiple rate tables to an estimate. For example, if part of your labor is done with shop labor and part with field labor you can assign the shop labor rate table to the shop items and the field labor rate table to the field items. You do this by assigning different rate tables to the estimate items. There are a couple ways to do this:

First: adjust labor rate table on the estimate cover page – takeoff associated items for the shop labor. Once all shop items are taken-off, change the labor rate table to the field labor and take off associated items for the field labor.

Secondly (if items are already taken-off): turn on the Labor (or Equipment) Rate Table Column on the spreadsheet. Scroll to the items that need to be adjusted and select the correct rate table from the pull down list.
