I understand this procedure. I have a question dough. Lets say you're writing an estimate from front to back and you're at the rear door section, now you forgot to add a front suspension item. When you go back to the front suspension section and you add the item, it doesn't placed the item in the correct sequence on the body of the estimate? Is there an option for this?
Yes. Highlight (click once) on your estimate in the section where you are trying to put "said part", then add that "said part" to your sheet. This should be the solution
Or you can set your shop profile up so no matter what order you add the items they go in the correct order. There are 3 settings 1) Front to Back 2) There Order in Which You Enter 3) Back to Front
Be careful... this is especially important when you are repairing a door shell but replacing the skin. If you put repair on the shell first, and then replace the outer panel... your refinish hours don’t calculate "add for inside" or "edging" or "clear coat edging". Always replace the skin first and then add any necessary repair time to your shell. I think insurance companies know this and purposely put the Shell first. Just an FYI!

In CCC, you would need to lock the "Preliminary Estimate" or "Supplement" and Create an "Estimate of Record" or "Supplement of Record", In the print options, you can then print a "Final Bill
@@TheDEG2012 where in the print options because i don't see it there. i have supplement locked but the dealership is asking that it needs to say "final bill" on the estimate if not they won't pay us
So let's say I am writing an estimate to replace rear bumper, repair lt qtr, and blend lt rear door. Before I start, should I change it to "back to front?"

Is feather block and prime included in refinish operations in CCC? Is there any documentation that shows this?

can you change the word "preliminary estimate" to a different word for example "Final Bill'?

is there a way to add cover car, hazardous waste, color tint, flex additive etc to every estimate automatically?
You would need to do thru through your parts code table / manual entry

Still up to you, you would typically start at the rear bumper working your way inward, it would only make sense.
@@dgredinberg I guess what I'm asking is if it will calculate the overlap differently. I'll probably try it tomorrow and see what happens.
@@j.mizzle What did you end up going with?
