• Method 1 : considers the detailed costs of each single function of the item of the structure.
• Method 2 : sums up the costs putting on the screen more extra rows.
• Method 3 : works as the second method, but has in addition a field dedicated at the salesman rate.

• : prints out a summary of job calculations, under type summary. Thus this allows calculations for each type used in the job and a type abacus to be printed.
• : shows the percentage effect of the most important cost items in the quotation.
