New/Edit Contract - Unit Price Contract Detail
Use this tab to enter and/or modify specific billing items. If the contract for this job does specify the use of unit pricing (in the Properties window of Contracts), then the Contract Detail window displays fields specifically for unit priced billing items.
For fixed price contracts, the New/Edit Contract - Fixed Price Contract Detail tab will open instead.
When adding new billing items for unit price jobs, the pricing logic defaults the special price first by customer/job, then customer only (if the job field is left blank) as the second priority, and finally the standard company pricing (if the customer field is left blank) as the last resort. This pricing default is used only when setting up new billing items to be billed. The billing item lookup windows also reflect this customer/job option.
After a job has been set up, it is recommended that billing items be entered in the Contracts screen before phases are set up in the Phases screen.
