Step 1 Locate relevant Runner

In this example we will cost the runners on a Floor 1 Drawer, which uses a 'Blum Antaro D No Element 30kg Inserta' in the Metal Premium Runners group with a depth of 500mm.

Step 2 Edit Runner

On the Hardware > Drawers page, click on the relevant Edit button (as shown).

• This will open the Properties sheet, tick the Override Set checkbox (as shown).
  • This makes all the Runners that make up the selected 'Runner Set' available for Edit.
  • As you can see the Runner used in our sample cabinet is underlined.
• Click on the Edit button that corresponds to the runner that needs to be priced - this will open the Runner Editor.

Step 3 Using the Runner Editor

Clicking on the Edit button opens the Runner Editor.

• Using the Runner Depth drop list (as shown below), select 500mm
  • this corresponds to the sample drawer used for this tutorial.
• Click on the Commercial Only button
  • this is a single page editor that allows just the Cost, Part number etc to be amended.

The View Original Table is only useful for viewing the current/original table and any changes made using the Form Editors will not be applied to these tables.

Step 4 Pricing for All Lengths

The following shows the Commercial page for our selected Runner i.e. 500mm.

Note that there are a number of different Runner Depths which will use identical pricing details e.g. for this tutorial...

• Supplier - see Pricing Hardware Accessories Tutorial 3 as this will not be discussed here.
• Markup percentage
• Labour Pricing - for now enter Time/Rate and 'No' to Use Labour as this will be discussed in Tutorial 2 below.

So to save time and effort, enter the repeat data and then click on the Save All Lengths button (as shown).

• Note that a message below this button will then confirm the Current Overrides i.e. runner depths.

Step 5 Costing Individual Depths

Now we will cost each Runner Depth.

• As we already have the 500mm property sheet open, type in the Cost as $8.00;
  • Remember the Markup was 10% (0.1), so the applied cost will be $8.80.
• Then click the Save 500mm button, which saves only the details for the current selection.

• To Cost all the other Runner Depths - .
  • Using the Runner Depth drop list (as per Step 3)...
    • select each of the other individual depths e.g. 550mm
    • Type in the required Cost price (before Markup applied)
  • Then click the Save... button
    • Current depth will be displayed on button.

In this example, enter a different Cost as per the image below i.e 550mm is $9, 500mm is $8 etc

Step 6 Cost Runners in Set

This isn't required for this tutorial but you would return to the Runner Properties discussed in Step 2 and price each of the related runners in the Set in the same way.

Step 7 Test Report

To test the effect of this process, run a Quantities report.

The following report shows that the Cost is $8 plus the Markup (10%) $0.80 = $8.80

In this tutorial we will only Use Labour for the example cabinet i.e. for Depth 500mm.

Step 1 Use Labour

• In the Labour Time edit box, type in the estimated quantity of time it will take to process this task in minutes.
  • Type in 10.00mn (unless already entered in Tutorial 1)

• In the Labour Rate edit box, type in the cost rate of performing this task in this time.
  • Type in $12.00

• Use the Use Labour drop list and select Yes

This process would be repeated for all lengths, ensuring the Labour Time and Rate are also correctly set.

Step 2 Test Report

Test the results by running a Quantities By Category report, as shown.

The calculation of processing time is the number of items i.e. 1 runner multiplied by 10 minutes = 10 minutes

The calculation is hourly rate of $12.00 divided by 60 minutes multiplied by 10 minutes.

Therefore the labour cost of this part would be $2.00
