Hello,
I'm new to Method and I am currently working on customizing our estimate templates.
Background for Question: We use several custom fields on our estimates internally to figure out our Project Labor, Project Management, Equipment and most importantly our Overhead, Sales Commission and PROFIT! so we can add a final line item to our estimate called Labor, Equipment & Supervision that covers all of these costs.
Question: If I have the following custom fields and desired calculation...how do I make this happen in Method?
(Project Production Days) = [ 3 ]
(Project Crew Size) = [ 4 ]
(Project Crew Daily Drivetime Hours) = [ 1.5 ]
(Project Total Production Hours) = ( Project_Production_Days x 8 x Project_Crew_Size ) + ( Project_Production_Days x Project_Crew_Size x Project_Crew_Drivetime )
(Project Total Labor Cost) = ( Project_Production_Days x 8 x Project_Crew_Size x 25) + ( Project_Production_Days x Project_Crew_Size x Project_Crew_Drivetime x 25 )
----------
( ) = custom field
[ ] = field data entered by estimator

Let me know if you need more information. Also please include how these custom fields should be set up initially (integers, currency, etc.)
Please advise. Thank you!
