When you insert an Equipment or Other Assembly or add a row to the Subs, Equip, or Other screens, the costs are allocated, by default, to the "Unassigned" Bid Area. That's OK, but if you want to allocate those expenses to various Bid Areas, Quick Bid provides options for assigning to one or multiple Bid Areas.
To assign the entire amount to a single area, click the Lookup button in the Area column.
To spread the cost over multiple Areas, click the "Multi" checkbox, the Multi-Area dialog opens (Equip Multi-Area is shown below, the Subs and Others dialogs are functionally the same).
Enter values for each Bid Area to allocate costs however you choose.
Once the Multi-Area dialog box is filled out, the Qty column no longer accepts direct entry but shows "Multi" - clicking on "Multi" opens the Multi-Area dialog again.
Anything not assigned to a specific Bid Area remains as "Unassigned".
