My pricing is always changing per project. Why would I add this to my Billing Item Library?

Vendor pricing often varies based on the project, plans, or other factors. However, your Billing Items (the top-level categories) are typically consistent from project to project.

For example, while the cost of roofing materials may differ depending on the vendor or job, “Roofing Material” is something you’ll include in every project. In this case, “Roofing Material” would be your Billing Item, and the specific vendor pricing would be added beneath it.

You can also associate vendor pricing with specific projects, making it easy to track what pricing was used where. This structure helps you maintain a clear, organized record of vendor pricing over time, so you can reference it whenever needed.
