How to Add Additional Cost?

Bitumio > Left Navigation Bar > Product Settings > Additional Cost

1. Follow the above-mentioned workflow to land on the Organization Additional Cost screen.

2. Click the button located at the top-right corner of the grid. Doing so takes you to the Create Additional Cost screen.

3. Here, name the additional cost using the Name field. This is the name of the Additional Cost that will appear in the Software, on Proposals, in Work Orders, etc.

4. Use the Fee Type dropdown to assign a Fee Type (i.e. Flat Fee). A Fee Type determines how we are going to calculate the amount of the Additional Cost. Some the fee types include:

Flat Fee- The cost associated to a Flat Fee does not change regardless of the size of job or amount of material. Multiple quantities of this fee can be added to a proposal but the individual cost does not change. 

For instance, a job requires parking barriers and each parking barrier costs $100

Multiple of Job Size- This fee will change based on the size of a Job. A multiple of the job size.

For example, a job is 10,000 square feet and this is set to 10%. This will result in 1,000.  

Percent of Total Material- This fee will change based on how much Material is needed for the Job. 

For example, a job requires 100 tons of aggregate. Additive should be added at 1% per ton of aggregate. This will result in 1 ton of additive needed.  (100 x .01 = 1 ton)  

Multiple of Days on Job- This cost will be incremented by the total number of days the Job requires. 

For instance, a $200 per diem would be added to each day of a job. 

Multiple of Total Cost- Multiplies the total cost of the Job by the Fee Amount

For example, this is set to 10% and a Proposal is $10,000, this would calculate to $1,000. 

5. Use the Percentage field to enter the percentage. This defines how much of the Fee should be applied to the product. This is multiplied by the Additional Fee Cost to calculate the total amount of the Additional Cost.

For example, an Additive needs to be included in a Slurry mixture. The Additive should be added at 1% per ton of aggregate.

For Flat Fee and Multiple of Days on Job, put "1". 

6. Use the Cost field to enter the cost of 1 of the items associated to the Additional Cost. 

For example, an additive needs to be included in a Slurry mixture. One ton of additive costs $500.

7. Once the required details are filled in, click the button.
