The Setup > Pricing page of the Catalog/Drawing Properties allows you to calculate pricing by...
For pricing to work and be reported on correctly, the costs of materials and brackets etc must be set correctly. Corresponding options on the Setup > Report page also need to be enabled for these calculations to be included in reports. See also Pricing Tutorial : Requirements and tutorials on Area Pricing and Fixed Cost Pricing.
It is recommended to set up Pricing defaults in the Catalog when you decide how the majority of your jobs are to be priced. The reports can then be easily customised for each job if required.
