A more general way of applying fittings is to use the Fittings Percentages form. As with the usage fittings, when the labour usage is applied to an estimate item, the values are added automatically. These can then be edited as necessary.
To apply the usage fittings on loading a labour usage, the Apply Fittings option on the Estimate Details tab must be set to Yes.
See Add a fitting to a steel item.
The columns on the Fittings Percentage form are described in the following table.
