Breakdowns
When you create Allowances, you can use a breakdown to calculate
the total estimated cost, or to specify a list of work or
materials included.
Allowance Breakdowns
To enter detailed costs in an allowance, enter Category or Items into the
breakdown popup at the left side of the window.
- Use a Category breakdown when you do not need to include specific Cost items or Assemblies in the breakdown.
- Use an Items breakdown when you will include specific Cost items or Assemblies.
Enter the following information in each line of the breakdown
table:
Cost Area-- Enter the basic type of work.
Category-- Enter the Cost Category under
which you'd like to classify this item.
Subcategory-- If the Category System for
this allowance has subcategories, enter one here.
Cost Item-- Choose a Cost Item or Assembly.
HINT-- If you choose an Unlisted item
in the Cost Area, you can type in a new item here, just like in a Category
breakdown.
Size-- Goldenseal fills in the unit size for the cost item.
Unit Cost-- Goldenseal fills in the cost per unit for the cost
item.
Quantity-- Type in the quantity for this line item.
Item Total-- Goldenseal calculates the total cost of this line
item (unit cost x quantity).
Location-- Enter a cost Location for this
item.
As you enter each line item in the breakdown, Goldenseal automatically calculates the total cost, and the total number of labor hours required for the
work.
HINT-- An allowance breakdown is very much like a miniature
itemized Estimate,
covering just the work in one Allowance.
