Entering flat rate details

Companies that perform service work often bill customers using a flat rate based on materials, labor, and travel costs. Sage 100 Contractor computes both standard and contract rates for primary and add-on tasks.

Before entering flat rate details

Consider the following points:

  • You can manually change the markup rates or selling prices. If you change the selling price, Sage 100 Contractor ignores markup rate. If you delete a markup rate, Sage 100 Contractor does not change the amount in the Sell column.
  • You can change the time and cost for travel, technicians, and assistants as well as the rate in the Service Contract Discount box.
  • Select the Print in Book checkbox to add the assembly flat rate to your flat rate book.
  • Select the Print Parts checkbox to include the parts in your flat rate book. When printing the price book, select the Part Details checkbox.
  • Select the Taxable checkbox to include tax on the assembly.
