      • Click in the field for the line item you want to change the method and choose from the drop-down.

        • Automatic - The total budget amount is automatically calculated for the line item from the values you entered in the 'labor,' 'equipment,' 'material,' 'subcontractor,' 'overhead,' 'others,' and 'profit' fields after you save the budget. 
        • Manual - Enter the total budget amount for the line item manually before saving the budget. This overrides the auto-calculated amount.

      Other fields

      • Edit the values directly in the other fields of the project budget, as required.
      • Click 'Save' at the top right to post the budget.
