The Products and Services page allows you to set up individual Products/Services to add to your work orders as lines to be used for bids, invoicing, or tracking general finances.
How Products and Services Function
When you create an Product/Service, you can specify the Name/Description, along with price you are charging and/or your cost for the line. You can also set up matching configurations to automatically apply different prices and costs depending on certain project fields.
