Using minimum part quantities in takeoffs
Note: This functionality is only available if you have purchased the Estimating Add-On Module.
With the Minimum Quantities by Takeoff command selected, Sage 100 Contractor determines the total extended quantity for each part for the entire takeoff when you calculate it.
If the quantity from the takeoff is less than the minimum order quantity, Sage 100 Contractor determines the difference and adds the amount to the extended part quantity where the part first appears in the takeoff.
If the quantity from the takeoff is greater than the minimum order quantity, Sage 100 Contractor determines the quantity necessary to order the next complete package. Sage 100 Contractor then adds the amount to the extended part quantity where the part first appears in the takeoff.
To use minimum part quantities in a takeoff:
On the Update menu, point to Takeoff, and then click Minimum Quantities by Takeoff.
