Base Price Formula

SUGGESTED

Can someone give me the formula to add a base price to an item?

For instance: An equipment rental has it's monthly rental fees, but I would like to add the delivery fee to the item as well.

Thanks

    We usually use 'other' for delivery charge. If our forklift rental is 1200 a month and its 100 for delivery the 1200 goes in the equipment line item and its based on however many months you have it on the project. the delivery fee is hard keyed in. We also have some items that have a production rate of 1/12 for the 'other' delivery charge so the $100 was recouped on 12 month projects and made money on longer projects. A good example is temp toilets if we had one temp toilet for one month we would lose money. If we had one temp toilet for 12 months we break even. We normally have 3-4 temp toilets. Most of our projects 8-16 months. so we make a few extra dollars on temp toilets. On items that delivery really fluctuates like tower crane, we have a separate item for. especially when its more of a setup and delivery fee like job trailers, cranes, containers, etc. So a crane could have a monthly charge of 5k and then the line item for setup & delivery of crane would be a lump sum of $2k. Hope that helps
