gross adjustment % 
Use this to apply a percentage adjustment to a GROSS item rate value (i.e. which already includes any overhead, profit and any Preferred Rate adjustment).
This adjustment can be useful for creating 'What-If' scenarios without overwriting any existing O&P or Preferred Rate values you may already have set up. It can also be useful for adding a small percentage that you know a main contractor is going to deduct (often referred to as Main Contractor Discount or MCD).
Key Features
- Simple percentage adjustment by bill, added to the Gross value of each item in the bill
- The job Profit is automatically adjusted
- Bill & Schedule summaries show your adjusted totals (incl. Profit)
To apply your Gross Adjustment %:
- Select the Schedule name in the tree to open the table of bills (Summary)
- Select the Gross Adjustment % View from above the bill page
- Enter your preffered value for each bill (e.g. 2.5%). If you want to add the same percentage value to all bills, click on the column header then use the Percent function to apply
Notes
- Gross Adjustment % is always the last calculation adjustment for an item
- The perectage value is applied to ALL existing adjustment, including those applied as Preferred rate values
- The adjusted profit is always shown in the Adjust % (Profit) column
- Percentage values may be negative
- Since it is applied independantly of any other adjustments you can easily reverse the Gross Adjustment without adversely impacting any existing fine-tuning changes e.g. low profit values applied to high value items
