      When to use this feature

      From time to time or due to contract terms, there may be a need to provide a cost breakdown of parts and labour for the individual line items on a Quote. This can be achieved in FireMate on a Quote by Quote basis, or can be selected as the default display for all Quotes for a specific Contract.

      There may be times where you would like all Quotes on a Contract to display the breakdown of parts and labour by default, with the option to disable the breakdown on selected Quotes. This can also be achieved when reviewing the Quote.

      The labour and parts breakdown will only show on Quotes using version 2, and only on Inventory enabled database. Interested in access to Inventory? Register your interest here.
