View Full Version : Costing a job in eCabs

I'm having a difficult time figuring costs for a batch/job. When I go into the cost sheet for the batch/job I see a line item called "Profit Markup NON-Catalog Cabinets" and another line item called "Profit-Catalog Cabinets".

When I save a cabinet without checking the Catalog Item and entering a price, my batch listing shows that unit cost for that cabinet is N/A. If I check the Catalog Item when saving the cabinet the price shows up in the batch. How do I get eCabs to recognize that a cabinet has a price even though it is not a catalog item?

Also, is there a way to have eCabs figure profit on an entire job instead of each cabinet? I find that if I have a percentage markup specified in standard costs, that percentage is applied to each cabinet and then the job gets the profit applied again. Yes, this makes me more money but I don't think it's right to do this to the customer.

Thanks,

Don
