| • | Numerical code |
| • | Display description |
| • | Printout description This may or may not differ from the display description. |

| Fixed Amount | The value is independent of quantity |

Calculates the quantity % of that total
| Heading | Items without quantities or values, used as headings |

Weight Per Length
| % of Contract | The system reads the Amended Contact Price (without GST) from the current Job and sets this as the Unit Price. |
Prices set against items whose Units of measurement have this calculation routine are therefore ignored
The quantity of the bill item is the percentage to be applied. Divisor field in Units screen is therefore ignored and always set to 100
Uses include Commission calculations, Architects fees etc

Each Week
| Each Month | The system reads the Start Date and End Date from the current Job and calculates the number of days, weeks, or months. Partial amounts are rounded up to the next whole week or month. |
This value then over-rides the quantity previously set for the bill or order
The start and end dates can be set in the Job Screen, the Feasibility study screen or calculated in the Job Control module
Uses include hire items, council rates, security charges etc
Title Similar to Heading except that items with this calculation routine do not act as blockers for Percentage routine
