Adding more than 10 resources to a single item

Can I add more than 10 resources to a single buildup? I have added 10 resources to a buildup and it will not let me add any more.

You can only add 10 resources to a single item buildup however you can activate the Composite Item function. The Composite Item feature allows you to create up to 20 single buildups against 1 item. This means up to 200 resources could be added to a single item.

To turn on and create a composite follow the following steps:

  1. From Estimating/Valuations, click Layouts and ensure the Composite Item feature is turned on.

  2. In the Composite Item window, click Add

  3. Enter a Description, Qty, and click OK

  4. Select the new entry in the Composite Item window the Single Buildup window will show a blank buildup of 10 resource rows.

Note: There are some limitations with the composite item function running alongside comparisons. You cannot have the same resource for Comparisons in multiple single buildups within 1 item as the comparisons will only ever update 1 instance of the resource.
