Refers to the Codes you want to use as inputs for the Markup.

For example, you may have a Labor Burden rate that applies only to metalworkers and carpenters meaning that you must calculate this markup only for Division 05 and 06 labor costs.

To specify a code, identify the Cost Code Segment(s) between brackets ([]) and the values between single quotes (''). You may use “and” and “or”, and you can use parentheses to specify an order of operations.

The formula causes the markup to use Cost Items coded to all budget codes identified as its basis.

For example, depending on the naming of your Cost Code Segments in Cost Code Templates, if you wanted your markup calculated on codes with a "Div" of "05" or "06" and a "Cost Type" of "LAB", you would enter the formula as:

The calculation is performed on cost items that have a value greater than the value you enter in this field. For example, you may be allowed only 3% profit on change orders over $10,000.00.

Exclude Negative Results

Indicates that the calculation will ignore any result less than zero.
