Item Detail Sizing Tab

The Sizing tab is used to convert quantities into usable sizes or combine quantities into standard containers.  

 

 

Size Method

Sizes

 

Use this option to setup the most common sizes available for this Item.   Remember, it is not necessary to enter every possible size for the item, only the most common sizes.   Special sizes may be entered directly at the Condition Detail by clicking the size drop down menu and selecting .

Styles

This option allows you to enter a different price for each style name.   Entering a material by Style works well for materials that have a single size but come in a variety of grades.  For example, a door unit that is available in paint grade, stain grade, oak, birch or any other wood.

Styles with Sizes

Use this option to enter a different price for each size/style name.  

No Sizes

Use this option if size does not pertain to this item.  

Mixture

This allows you to enter specific material quantities for a combination of materials required for a given coverage or yield.  It also allows you to combine a group of material items into a single line entry in a Condition Detail where labor will apply to the mixture.   For example, our Item Code TF-4 (Tape & Float Level 4) is a mixture of two other material Items: Tape-250 and Mud4.  These materials are listed below the Yield of 1,000SF.

 

Container

Allows you to choose a description that represents what unit the item is priced by.

 

Mixture Yield

This is a value that allows Quick Bid to calculate the quantity of materials required in a mixture. For example, 4 boxes of mud and 2 rolls of tape covers 1000 square feet.

 

Grid Area

Enter the appropriate sizing information for Sizes, Styles and Style with Sizes.  For Mixtures, assign a coverage yield or quantity and Item Code.
