NOTES

• There are separate discount categories for labor and materials. You can increase or decrease the overall price of the job by adjusting the PROFIT MARKUP field, which will make the price of every item go up or down.
• If you’ve already created a proposal for this customer, you’re going to need to make a brand new proposal in order for the discounted price to show up.
• If you’ve already created an eBID before offering this customer a discount, you’ll need to click UPDATE PRICING.
