Quick Bid - 11.05 Setting Selling Price When Your Bid Includes Alternates or Change Orders - QB

When you set the Selling Price of an entire Bid, you may not get the results you are expecting if your Bid includes Changes Orders.

• Change Orders always have a separate "Selling Price" and are never adjusted when you set the Selling Price for the Base Bid.
• When your Bid includes Accepted Alternates, you can choose to include them with the Base Bid Selling Price. The Base Bid and the Accepted Alternates are adjusted to the same Profit percent when you change the Selling Price.

The Bid shown below includes an Accepted Alternate and an Accepted Change Order - the Change Order is always priced separately, so we will concentrate on that Accepted Alternate only.
