About bid item types
As you enter bid items, you can assign each item a type.
|
Item Type |
Description |
|---|---|
|
1-Base Bid |
Indicates standard items on the proposal. |
|
2-Allowance |
Indicates that the item provides for an allowance in the costs. Suppose you are building a residential home but the client has yet to decide on carpets. A carpet allowance sets the costs for carpets at a specified amount, which is included in the contract. |
|
3-Alternate |
Indicates the cost for the work performed based on additions or alternate plans. Suppose that plans for a commercial building call for an asphalt roof and an alternate cost for a ceramic tile roof. On the proposal, you can list the cost for the asphalt roof. Then you can list the additional cost for the ceramic tile roof as the alternate. |

4-Change Order |
Indicates the bid item contains only change work. In a takeoff, you can create a bid item for each change order. When you export change orders from a takeoff, Sage 100 Contractor only exports information contained in bid items with this type. |
