Estimate Adjustments

How can I make a 'fudge factor' adjustment to an estimate?

Starting with version 2.6, Goldenseal includes an Adjustment field which increases or decreases all line item costs by a percentage.

To make an adjustment, follow these steps:

  1. Click in the Adjustment Percentage field (you may need to scroll down-- it's under the breakdown table).
  2. Type in a percentage adjustment, either positive or negative.
  3. Goldenseal will increase or decrease all unit cost prices by the percentage.

The adjustment only applies to Assemblies and Cost Items-- it will not change bids, allowances or unlisted items.

HINT-- Use the Adjustment Percentage field to convert to a different currency, or to make other "quick and dirty" adjustments to an estimate.
