• Price breakout by line item

Price breakout by a single lump sum

When creating or editing the change order, enter the desired price in the Sell Price field.

Price breakout by cost bucket/category

When creating or editing the change order, enter the desired prices for each cost bucket category in the price field on the respective cost bucket header.

Price breakout by line item
