Fix the cost of a financial cost item

Open a job in the Manage Estimates screen.
From either the Catalog or Estimate tab, select the financial cost item you want to fix the cost of.
Click Edit on the speedbar.
In the Factor field, click to select Lump Sum.
The Lump Sum field displays the current calculated value for the cost item. If needed, enter a new value or click to increase or decrease the value. This will be the fixed cost for the cost item.
Click OK. The financial cost item is now fixed and will work just like any other cost item in the estimate. Note that it is no longer highlighted in green like it was when you made the cost item a financial cost item.
Note: You can change the cost item back into a financial cost item that is not fixed by re-opening the Cost Item popup window and clicking Undo. Clicking Undo will reset all fields on the Cost Detail tab.
