NOTE-- We
retired the MacNail estimating program in 2000, and replaced
it with Goldenseal construction estimating
software. There are still die-hard MacNail users, so we keep the
manuals online for them! Goldenseal also
includes accounting, job
costing and payroll, plus
some project management features. There
are no manual transfers of prices needed, in Goldenseal.
Moving new items from an estimate to a Price Master
If you've
flagged some new or changed items while preparing a project estimate, it's easy to move them
to your permanent price database in the MacNail construction management
software.
To move prices from an estimate to a Price Master:
1. Choose Move Prices from the Data menu.
2. In the dialog box, describe exactly how you'd like to move prices. In this case, move prices from
An Estimate to the MacNail Price Master. Turn on Use flagged items only, Insert new items not already in
destination, and all items under Update existing.
NOTE: If you are using an estimator to store unit prices, move items to An estimator.
If you are using more than one Price Master, choose a Price Master. You'll be asked to select one after
step 3.
3. If the estimate is not already open, you'll be asked to choose an estimate to use as a source. Click
on the desired estimate file, then click OK.
4. The rest of the price-moving process is fully automatic. The time it takes depends on the number
of items moved and the speed of your computer. See pages 221-223 for more about this command.
