Job-specific pricing maintenance

You can use job-specific pricing maintenance alongside a dedicated pricing file or as an alternative as you can update the material prices to reflect current pricing without affecting any other estimates. It also allows you to build in a tolerance for anticipated price increases if you know the job is not likely to start for a period of time.

Note: Job-specific pricing maintenance overrides global pricing maintenance within the specific estimate.
